Answer:

  x = b - y

Step-by-step explanation:

To get x by itself, subtract y from both sides.

  y + x = b . . . . . . . . . given

  y - y + x = b - y . . . . subtract y

  x = b - y . . . . . . . . . simplify

Cidnee is weighing combinations of geometric solids. She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces and that 1 cylinder
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x and y the masses of a cylinder and a prism, measured in ounces, respectively. After a careful reading of the statement we get the following linear equations by interpretation:

i) <em>She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces:</em>

4\cdot x +5\cdot y = 32\,oz (Eq. 1)

ii) <em>And that 1 cylinder and 8 prisms weigh 35 ounces:</em>

x + 8\cdot y = 35\,oz (Eq. 2)

Now we solve the system of linear equations algebraically:

From (Eq. 2):

x = 35 - 8\cdot y

(Eq. 2) is (Eq. 1):

4\cdot (35-8\cdot y) + 5\cdot y = 32

140-32\cdot y +5\cdot y = 32

32\cdot y - 5\cdot y = 140-32

27\cdot y = 108

y = 4\,oz

From (Eq. 2):

x = 35 - 8\cdot (4)

x = 35 - 32

x = 3\,oz

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

The retail cost of a TV is 50 ​% more than its wholesale cost.​ Therefore, the retail cost is​ ____ times the wholesale cost.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Let the retail cost be x and the wholesale cost be y

Step-by-step explanation:

x = y + 0.50y

x = 1.50y

Therefore the retail cost is 1.50 times the wholesale cost.

Can y'all help me step by step with number 5

If the wall with 4 ft. of storage area can fit 6 sections of plant and the wall with 7 ft. Can fit 5, that means each section is 3 ft. because 7-4=3, so that extra section on the wall with 4 ft. You do this because there is one extra section on the wall with four. Knowing this, the wall with 7 ft. Would be the 7 ft. + 5 sections of 3 ft. So 7+(5x3) = 22. On the wall with 4 ft., do the same,
4+(6x3) =22. Since they are equal and the walls are supposed to be equal, we can confirm this is the right answer

Complete the equation of the line through ( − 9 , 7 ) and ( − 6 , − 3 ) Use exact numbers. y =
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to find the slope using the slope formula :

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-9,7)...x1 = -9 and y1 = 7

(-6,-3)....x2 = -6 and y2 = -3

now we sub

slope = (-3 - 7) / (-6 - (-9) = -10 / (-6 + 9) = -10 / 3

so our slope is -10/3

now we use y = mx + b....with m representing the slope

slope(m) = -10/3

use either of ur points....I will use (-9,7)...x = -9 and y = 7

we are solving for b, the y intercept

now we sub

7 = -10/3(-9) + b

7 = 30 + b

7 - 30 = b

- 23 = b

so ur equation is : y = -10/3x - 23
