Solving systems of equations using substitution p=q+2 4p+3q= -27

GREYUIT [131]

Ok, so you are given the value of P=q+2

The substitution method tells us that we must insert the value we know, into the second equation, 4P+3q= -27

Doing so will give us 4(q+2)+3q= -27

For right now, lets just focus on the first part, 4(q+2)

We can simplify this by distributing(multiplying) the 4 to whats inside the variables.

This will give us 4q+8

now lets add this back to the rest of the equation >>> 4q+8+3q = -27

We can further simplify by adding like terms >>> 7q+8 = -27

subtract the 8 from both sides >>> 7q = -35

now divide both sides by 7 >>> q = -35/7

Therefor q = -5

EDIT*

now that we know q = -5 we can put q into the equation for P !

we know that p=q+2

so lets put q in now >>> p=(-5)+2

and simplify>>> p = -3

I hope this helps:)

Robert makes 50 litres of green paint by mixing litres of yellow paint and litres of blue paint in the ratio 2:3.

podryga [215]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Cost of each liter of yellow paint:

Yellow paint is sold in 5 litre tins and ach tin costs £26, thus the cost of one liter is £26 / 5 liters = £5.2 per liter.

2. Cost of each liter of blue paint:

Blue paint is sold in 10 litre tins and each tin costs £48, thus the cost of one liter of blue paint is £48 / 10 liters = £4.8 per liter

3. Cost of each liter of green paint.

Green paint is made by mixing yellow paint and blue paint in the ratio 2:3

Thus, 5 liters of green paint will cost:

2 liters yellow paint: 2 liter × £5.2 / liter = £10.4

3 liters blue paint: 3 liter × £4.8 / liter = £14.4

========== ========

5 liters green paint: 5 liter £24.8

Cost of one liter of gree paint: £24.8 / 5 liter = £4.96 / liter

4. Profit

Price of each liter of green paint: £66.96 / 10 liters = £6.696 / liter = £6.70 / liter

Profit per liter = price per liter - cost per liter = £6.70/liter - £4.96 / liter = £1.74 / liter

Percentage profit = profit per liter / cost per liter × 100

Percentage profit = (£1.74 / liter) / (£4.96/liter) × 100 = 35.08% = 35%

A house purchased for $216,500 gains 2% of its value every year. If this growth rate continues, in how many years will the house

NikAS [45]

Answer: 36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Rule of 72 to calculate how long it might take the house to double in value.

The Rule of 72 works by dividing 72 by the interest rate as a whole number and the result will be a rough estimate of the time in years it will take for the investment to double in size:

= 72 / 2

= 36 years
