Answer:

25 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Zakarya can read 5 pages in 8 minutes. First we divided 40 by 8, to see how many times of 8 she reads. She reads for 8 five times (40 minutes). We can multiply 5 (number of 8 minutes she reads) times 5 (pages she reads every 8 minutes) to get 25. She reads 25 pages in 40 minutes. Please tell me if this is wrong or makes no sense :).

I need to know the solution to this

Alex73 [517]

There are two ways to do this but the way I prefer is to make one of the equations in terms of one variable and then 'plug this in' to the second equation. I will demonstrate

Look at equation 1, $-2x+y=10$ this can quite easily be manipulated to show $y=10+2x$ .

Then because there is a y in the second equation (and both equations are simultaneous) we can 'plug in' our new equation where y is in the second one $4x-y=-14 \Rightarrow 4x-(10+2x)=-14$ which can then be solved for x since there is only one variable $4x-10-2x=-14 \Rightarrow 2x=-4 \Rightarrow x=-2$ and then with our x solution we can work out our y solution by using the equation we manipulated $y=10+2x = 10+(2 \times -2) = 10-4=6$ .

So the solution to these equations is x=-2 when y=6

Nolan began with $20 in his bank account and spent $2 each day. The line models the amount of money in his bank account. He inco

tester [92]

Answer:

y=-2x+20

Step-by-step explanation

The slope is determined with the "spent $2 each day" which translates to -2x and the y intercept should be how much money he started with($20). It looks like Nolan divided 20/2 to get 10, which would be how many days until he would have no money. Hope this helps!
