Answer:
x = 0.5
y = -1/4 or -0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6y = 2
3x + 2y = 10
Multiply a number by any of the equations to get numbers of the same variable
3x + 18y = 6
3x + 2y = 10
3x - 3x = 0
NB: subtract evenly if u subtract down from top make sure u subtract down from top throughout
16y = -4
16y/16 = -4/16
y = -1/4 or -0.25
to find the x value, any where you see y u put in the y value(-0.25)
So u'll pick just one of the equations above
x + 6(0.25) = 2
x + 1.5 = 2
x = 1.5 + 2
x = 0.5
8 x 2 = 16
Square root of 16 = 4
One side of the square is 4 meters.
I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y. Here is how the equation is set up:
13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70
This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7. Now it equals:
52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90
Now we add these two equations together to get:
-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.
Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y. I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.
$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40
Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends. Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.
