Answer: y = 1 & x = 3

Step 1: Multiply the first equation by -2 so that the equations cancel out the x
-2 ( x + 2y ) = 5

Step 2: Simplify
-2x -4y = - 10


Step 3: Add equations
(-2x - 4y = -10)
+ (2x + 6y = 12)
————————-
2y = 2

Step 4: Simply by dividing both sides by 2
y = 1

Step 5: Substitute y into either equation & simply
x + 2y = 5
x + 2(1) = 5
x+2=5
x=3

The answer is D. You are just adding 8 to the number of hours you work because you earn 8 dollars an hour, or you can just multiply the number of hours by the wage you get paid and you would get the your gross pay. It would also be in quadrant 1 because all the numbers are positive and quadrant 1 is all positive numbers not like the other quadrants where there is either all negative numbers or some positive numbers and some negative numbers. But to make things shorter the answer is D.

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 45% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 95% pure anti
Lesechka [4]

Let x = amount of 45% antifreezeLet y = amount of 70% antifreeze     EQUATION 1:   x + y = 150    (total of 150 gallons mixed)     EQUATION 2:  .45x + .75y = .55(x + y) Simplify and solve the system of equations     Multiply second equation by 100 on both sides to remove the decimals           45x + 75y = 55(x + y)     Combine like terms           45x + 75y = 55x + 55y           45x - 55x + 75y - 55y = 0             -10x + 20y = 0       Now we have the following system of equations:              x  +    y = 150        -10x + 20y =     0     Multiply the first equation by -10 to get opposite coefficients for x;  add the equations to eliminate x           10x + 10y = 1500         -10x + 20y =       0        ------------------------------                    30y = 1500      Solve for y            30y = 1500                y = 50      Since the total mixed gallons is 150, x = 150 - 50 = 100 So we need 100 gallons of the 45% antifreeze and 50 gallons of the 70% antifreeze
