For this Question use the substitution method.

5x+2y = $48 ------First Equation.
3x+2y = $32 ------ Second Equation

x= 48-2y/ 5 ( 48-2y divided by 5)

Put the value of x in the second equation.

3(48-2y/5)+2y = $32
 (144-6y/5) + 2y = $32
Take L.C.M 
144-6y+10y/5 = $32
144+4y = 32*5
144+4y = 160
4y = 160-144
4y = 16
y = 4
Now put the value of y in any equation.
5x+2(4) = $48
5x+8 = $48
5x = 48-8
5x = 40
x = 8
-------------------------
A Dress costs $8 and a belt costs $ 4.

Another plan to secure the roller coaster involves placing two concrete struts on either side of the center of the leg of the ro
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The beam should be placed 8 feet from the center.

Step-by-step explanation:

The struts are y = √(x + 8) and y = √(x − 4).  The struts are 2 feet apart at the location of the beam:

√(x + 8) − √(x − 4) = 2

Solving:

√(x + 8) = 2 + √(x − 4)

x + 8 = 4 + 4√(x − 4) + x − 4

8 = 4√(x − 4)

2 = √(x − 4)

x − 4 = 4

x = 8
