For the answer to the two questions above,
3x + 2y = 36.50 (I)
2x + 5y = 50 (II)
Eliminating x from the two equations by subtraction:
first we multiply equation I by 2 and equation II by 3
6x + 4y = 73
6x + 15y = 150
Subtracting the two,
-11y = -77
y = 7
He earns $7 at the coffee cart
Substituting y into equation I,
3x + 14 = 36.5
x = $7.50
So we can conclude that, he earns a greater wage of $7.50 at the library,
Answer:
The answer is 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
When you split something into fourths, you each get 1/4 of it.
The first set:
3x + 2y = 2 ---1)
5x + 4y = 6 ---2)
From 1), multiply all by 2, 6x + 4y = 4 ---3)
3) - 2),
6x + 4y - (5x + 4y) = 6 - 4
6x + 4y - 5x - 4y = 2
x = 2
Sub in x = 2 into 1),
3(2) + 2y = 2
2y = -4
y = -2
(2 , -2)
The second set:
3x + 2y = 2 ---1)
11x + 8y = 10 ---2)
From 1), multiply all by 4, 12x + 8y = 8 ---3)
3) - 2),
12x + 8y - (11x + 8y) = 8 - 10
12x + 8y - 11x - 8y = -2
x = -2
From this x value alone, we can tell that these two linear systems do NOT have the same solution as they meet at different coordinates.
Hope this helped! Ask me if there's any working from here that you don't understand! :)
Answer:
3x + y = -5
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Distributive Property
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
Standard Form: Ax + By = C
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- x₁ - x coordinate
- y₁ - y coordinate
- m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[PS] y - 11 = 3(x - 2)
<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>
<em>Find Standard Form</em>
- Distribute 3: y - 11 = 3x - 6
- Subtract 3x on both sides: -3x - y - 11 = -6
- Add 11 to both sides: -3x - y = 5
- Factor -1: -1(3x + y) = 5
- Divide -1 on both sides: 3x + y = -5
1000 is the answer! hoped I helped
