Three times the larger of two numbers is equal to four times the smaller. The sum of the numbers is 21. Find the numbers.

1 answer:

4 0

3 * x = 4y (from the question)
X+y = 21 (from the question)

3(21-y) = 4y (sub equation 2 in equation 1)

63-3y = 4y

Y=9 (now you sub the 9 instead of y in any of the equations and solve for x)
X=21-y = 21-9 = 12

Hope it helps, the logic is sound just go over the math.

The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold. It costs the owner $48 dollars each mo

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$y=2x-48$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the profit earned by the hot dog stand daily

x ----> the number of hot dogs sold

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is equal to

$y=2x-48$

This is the equation of the line into slope intercept form

where

$m=2\frac{\$}{hot\ dog}$ ----> is the slope

$b=-\$48$ ---> is the y-intercept (cost of the day's supply)
