Answer:

C. (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the 2 equations:

5y= 7x +22 -----(1)

x= -6y +17 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

5y= 7(-6y +17) +22

5y= -42y +119 +22 (Expand bracket)

5y= -42y +141 (Simplify)

42y +5y= 141 (+42y on both sides)

47y= 141

y= 141 ÷47 (÷47 on both sides)

y= 3

Substitute y= 3 into (2):

x= -6(3) +17

x= -18 +17

x= -1

Thus, the solution is (-1, 3).

Two trains leave Cleveland at the same time. One train travels east and the other travels west. The speed of the westbound train

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The eastbound train travels at 92 mph and the westbound train travels at 96 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Velocity = distance / time

If the eastbound train travels at x miles per hour, the westbound train travels at x + 4 mph.

After 3.5 hours, they are 658 miles apart. If we solve for distance the formula given above we have: Distance = velocity x time. We have that the total distance between both trains is 658 miles.

Substituting the values of the problem and solving for x we have

$658 = 3.5x+3.5(x+4)\\658=3.5x+3.5x+14\\644=7x\\92=x$

Thus, the eastbound train travels at 92 mph and the westbound train travels at 96 mph.

Kevin plans to put concrete on a rectangular portion of his driveway the portion is 10 feet long and 3 inches high the price of

Fudgin [204]

First we need to know the total volume of concrete used:
$V_total = \frac{cost_{total}}{cost{unit}}$
$V_total = \frac{\$72.98}{\frac{\$90}{yd^{3}}}$
$V_total = 0.7407yd^{3}$

Now we can use the formula for volume of a rectangular prism:
$V=lwh$
Convert everythig to yards and substitute:
$0.7407yd^{3}=(3.33yd)(w)(0.08333yd)$
$w=\frac{0.7407}{3.33 \times 0.08333}$
$w \aprox 2.66yd$
