amid [387]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>a = - 10</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>3a – 8 = 5a + 12</em>

<em>3a – 8 + 8 = 5a + 12 + 8</em>

<em>3a = 5a + 20</em>

<em>3a - 5a = 5a + 20 - 5a</em>

<em>- 2a = 20</em>

<em />\dfrac{-2a}{-2}=\dfrac{20}{-2}<em />

<em>a = - 10</em>

Hi how can I graph this if it dosn't have a slope?<br> 1. y = (2/3)x - 1 <br> y = -x + 4
12345 [234]

System of Linear Equations entered :

[1] y - 2x/3 = -1

[2] y + x = 4

// To remove fractions, multiply equations by their respective LCD

Multiply equation [1] by 3

// Equations now take the shape:

[1] 3y - 2x = -3

[2] y + x = 4

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

-2x + 3y = -3 x + y = 4

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] x = -y + 4

// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]

[1] 3y - 2•(-y +4) = -3

[1] 5y = 5

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] 5y = 5

[1] y = 1

// By now we know this much :

y = 1

x = -y+4

// Use the y value to solve for x

x = -(1)+4 = 3

I hope this help you

The cost of renting a bus for a field trip was split evenly among 20 students. At the last minute, 10 more students joined the t
dexar [7]

By solving a linear equation, we will see that the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

<h3>What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?</h3>

Let's say that the total cost is C.

When there are 20 students, each student should pay:

p = C/20

When the other 10 students are added (for a total of 30) each student pays:

p' = C/30.

We know that the cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50, so:

p' = p - $1.50

Then we have 3 equations to work with:

p = C/20

p' = C/30.

p' = p - $1.50

Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:

C/30 = C/20 - $1.50

Now we can solve this linear equation for C:

C/20 - C/30 = $1.50

C*( 1/20 - 1/30) = $1.50

C*(30/600 - 20/600) = $1.50

C*(10/600) = $1.50

C*(1/60) = $1.50

C = 60*$1.50 = $90

So the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

Please help me. math.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

y =293(1.06) ^x

y = 370  after 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are using the model for growth

y = a ( 1+b)^x

a is the initial population

b is  the increase rate

We can substitute the values into the equation

y =293 (1+.06) ^ x

y =293(1.06) ^x


Let x equal 4 for the 4 years

y = 293(1.06)^4

y=369.9
