x=1/2
i hate the minimum word count
no one comes on here to learn how to do it, we come on here to get answers
It must be true that one of the numbers is negative. Hope that helps!!
Answer:
ANSWER IS C,,, 0
Step-by-step explanation:
the J+8 is basically going along with that the answer J+8 could be LESS than or equal to 8 if we pick any other number its going to be GREATER than 8 an we want LESS than 8,,,hope this helps.
To answer this, you can set up a system of equations. Solve for one of the variables and substitute this new equation into the 2nd equation.
2x + 5y = 243 - I'll solve this one for x.
8x + 6y = 538
2x + 5y = 243
2x = 243 - 5y
2 2
x = 121.5 - 2.5y ; substitute this in for x in the second equation
8x + 6y = 538
8 (121.5 - 2.5y) + 6y = 538
972 - 20y + 6y = 538
972 - 14y = 538
-972 -972
-14y = -434
-14 -14
y = 31
<u><em>The cost of a rod (y) is $31. </em></u>
x = 121.5 - 2.5y
x = 121.5 - 2.5 x 31
x = 44
<em><u>The cost of a reel(x) is $44.</u></em>
