Answer:

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours

x + y = 7 (1)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

From (1)

x = 7 - y

Substitute x = 7 - y into (2)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

4.5(7 - y) + 3.5y = 25.5

31.5 - 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5

- 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5 - 31.5

-y = -6

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1)

x + y = 7 (1)

x + 6 = 7

x = 7 - 6

x = 1

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days

An online auction charges sellers a flat fee of $1.20 and 2% of the amount of the sale. Let A be the amount of the sale in dolla
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The solutions are not viable because the amount of the sale cannot be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

Let A be the amount of the sale in dollars and C be the charge of the online auction

This means that both values of A and B should be non-negative integers.

Now, we are also told that An online auction charges sellers a flat fee of $1.20 and 2% of the amount of the sale.

We can conclude that the solution is not viable because the amount of sale of -1.1 cannot be negative.
