Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of years since the first year and let y = the total number of plants.
Roses: y = 5 + 2x
Tulips: y = 20 – 3x
You can use elimination to solve.
y = 5 + 2x
(-)y = 20 – 3x
0 = -15 + 5x
15 = 5x
3 = x
This means that 3 years after the first year, the number of rose bushes equals the number of tulip plants.
The graphs appear to
intersect at (3, 11) which verifies that x=3
Answer:
-8<x<2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
0. 8?
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to divide 2 by 25. If you have the percent and want to find the nonpercent like 2 of 25, then you multiply . 08 by 25 and you get 2
X + 3y = 14
x + 3(3x - 14) = 14
x + 9x - 42 = 14
10x - 42 = 14
<u> + 42 + 42</u>
<u>10x</u> = <u>56</u>
10 10
x = 5.6
5.6 + 3y = 14
<u>- 5.6 - 5.6</u>
<u>3y</u> = <u>8.4</u>
3 3
y = 2.7
(x, y) = (2.7, 5.6)
