Answer:

1)   Adding

2)  x = 1.5   y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Which would be a more helpful for solving the system: adding the two equations or subtracting one from the other?

Adding.

Would eliminate the y variable

2.solve the system without graphing, show your reasoning

After adding the equations

8x = 12

Divide both sides by 12

x = 1.5

Substitute into the first equation

2(1.5) + (1/2)y = 7

3 + (1/2)y = 7

(1/2)y = 4

y = 8

Speed was increased 20% to 48 mph. What was the speed before the increase
grigory [225]

Answer:

40 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed increased by 20%, now the speed is 120% of the original speed.

48 mph is 120%, so dividing by 6 will get 8 which is 20%.

If 8 is 20%, you can multiply it by 5 to get 40, which is 100%. This means 40 mph is the original speed.

Hope this helps!

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial number of members = 600

Now,

Expected members = Initial members × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

by geometric progression

here,

r is the growth rate

n is the number of years

thus,

Number of members that expect at the end of 2 year

Expected members = Initial members × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

r = 25%

n = 2 years

Expected members = 600 × ( 1 + 0.25 )²

= 937.5

similarly,

Numbers of members that expect at the end of 3 year

Expected members = Initial members × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

r = 22%

n = 1 years    (i.e after the end of 2 year)

Initial members = 937.5  (i.e after the end of 2 years is the initial for the starting of third year )

Expected members = 937.5 × ( 1 + 0.22 )¹

= 1143.75

Numbers of members that expect at the end of 4 year

Expected members = Initial members × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

r = 18%

n = 1 years    (i.e after the end of 3 year)

Initial members = 1143.75  (i.e after the end of 3 years is the initial for the starting of fourth year )

Expected members = 1143.75 × ( 1 + 0.18 )¹

= 1349.625

Hence,

Total expected people = 1349.625 ≈ 1350

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 5.25+1.25x=24 where x is each additional mile so to solve for x it would be  1.25x=18.75 and divide both sides to solve for x
