So first, we want to substitute in 15 to all the x variables.
So,
3x - 8y = 5
Becomes
3 * 15 - 8y = 5
Or,
45 - 8y = 5
So here, you can subtract 45 from both sides to move all like terms to one side.
-8y = 5 - 45
And then simplify:
-8y = -40
Then divide both sides by -8
y = 5
150 is the amount of interest earned for one year because the formula of PRT is, in this case 5000 times 0.03 times one which gets you the answer of 150.
If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16. You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.
The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16. You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x. You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
6/9 is equivalent to the fractions 60/90 and 600/900. The amount of zeros you add on does not matter as long as you do it to the top and bottom. The division sign cancels it out.
Answer:
y = -(1/2)x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the standard form on an equation: y = mx + b
A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line. We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..
1 = -(1/2)(6) + b We must solve for b ( -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)
1 = -3 + b
4 = b
so our equation is
y = -(1/2)x + 4
