Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2y = 14

2x + y = 3

In order to find the number x represents, you have to make the number of y for both equations the same. So:

8x + 2y = 14

(×2) 4x + 2y = 6 (×2)

Then, you can cancel the y off both equations, which will leave:

8x = 14

4x = 6

To find 4x, you have to find the difference between both equations, so you have to:

14 - 6 = 8

Now that the actual number 4x represents is 8, so:

4x = 8

(÷4) x = 2 (÷4)

Now to find y, substitute the letter x with 2:

2x + y = 3

2 (2) + y = 3

4 + y = 3

4 - 3 = -y

1 = -y

(× -) -1 = y (× -)

Answer: x = 2

y = -1

Hope this helps! :)

A particle is moving on a straight line in such a way that its velocity v is given by v ( t ) = 2 t + 1 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 5 where t is

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The total distance traveled by the particle is S = 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that velocity,

v(t) = 2t + 1

To find the total distance travel, we integrate the velocity function, v(t), to obtain the distance function s(t), and evaluate the resulting distance at the interval given. That is at t = 0 to t = 5.

Integrating v(t) with respect to t, we have

s(t) = t² + t + C.

At t = 5

s(5) = 5² + 5 + C

= 25 + 5 + C

= 30 + C

At t = 0

S(0) = 0 + 0 + C

= C

The required distance is now

S(5) - S(0)

= 30 + C - C

= 30.

Furkat [3]

Membership is discounted $2 for first month
c=cost of one month
d=discount=$2
x=# of months
xc - 2= total cost
x for 1 month is 1, c is always 12, -2 is constant
1 x(12) - 2=10 for first month
8 months
8c -2=total cost for 8 months
8 x 12 - 2= 94 for 8 months

Mary needed capital for her bakery. She borrowed $60 000 for 4 years at a simple interest rate of 8% per year. How much money wi

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$ 79600

Step-by-step explanation:

interest=prt (p is the amount borrowed, r is the rate, t is the time)

p=60000 , r=8%=0.08 , t=4 years

interest=60000*0.08*4

A=19600

the amount paid at the end of 4 years: 60000+19600=$79600
