Answer: the answer would be 42.5 but i’m assuming that you would round.

Step-by-step explanation:

2000/ 17 = 5000/ x

cross multiply

85,000 = 2,000x

simplify(divide by 2000)

x= 42.5

Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer of 2 x 3 would be 6

Alexeev081 [22]
The answer is: Substitution property of equality.

 The explanation is shown below:

1. To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 2. When you clear the variable x from the first equation, and subtitute it into the second equation, you obtain:

 <span>3x−2y=10
 x=(10+2y)/3

 4x−3y=14
 </span>4[(10+2y)/]−3y=14
<span> y=-2

 3. When you subsitute y=-2 into the first equation and clear the x, you have:

 x=2

The table below represents the distance of a car from its destination as a function of time.
KIM [24]
We are given the table that projects the distance of the car per hour. x is associated to time while y is associated to distance. The equation of the line after plotting in MS Excel is y = 900 - 50x. Hence the y-intercept is equal to 900 while the slope is equal to -50. The domain of the function that is x is all positive numbers.
