Answer:
The equation of the line that passes through the points
(1,-6) and (-4,9)
is
y=-3x-3
Substitute the value of x in equation 2. Then you'll get y=3. Then again substitute the value of y in x=1+y, you'll get x=4
Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
Answer:
x= (y-5)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the x variable.
y= 2x +5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
y-5=2x
Divide both sides by 2.
(y-5)/2= x
Answer:
The school baseball team sold 270 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Identify the total amount of tickets sold by each player;
1 player=1 book of tickets
But 1 book=10 tickets
Step 2
Express the total cost of ticket sales per book as follows;
total cost=cost per ticket×number of tickets per book
where;
cost per ticket=$3
number of tickets per book=10
replacing;
total cost=(3×10)=$30
Step 3
Using the expression below, solve for the number of tickets sold
Total amount raised=price per ticket×number of tickets sold
where;
total amount raised=$810
price per ticket=$3
number of tickets sold=n
replacing;
810=3×n
3 n=810
n=810/3=270
n=270
The school baseball team sold 270 tickets
