Answer:

y = 5/3x + 48

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

28 - 8 / -12 - (-24)

20 / 12

5/3

y = 5/3x + b

8 = 5/3(-24) + b

8 = -40 + b

48 = b

If five times the measure of an angle is decreased by 30, the result is the same as when two times the measure of the angle is i

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the measure of the angle. Then ...

5a -30 = 2a +18

3a = 48 . . . . . . . add 30-2a

a = 16 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

An angel is beyond measure, but this angle has measure 16.

Nina purchased apples and strawberries. She purchased a total of 9 pounds of fruit and spent a total of $16.35. Strawberries cos

irina [24]

Answer:

4 pounds of strawberries and 5 pounds of apples are bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of pounds of fruit = 9 pounds

Total money spent = $16.35

Cost of 1 pound of strawberry = $1.60

Cost of 1 pound of apple = $1.99

Let 'x' pounds of strawberries and 'y' pounds of apples are bought.

So, as per question:

The sum of the pounds is 9. So,

$x+y=9\\\\y=9-x----1$

Now, total sum of the fruits is equal to the sum of 'x' pounds of strawberries and 'y' pounds of apples. So,

$1.60x+1.99y=16.35----2$

Now, plug in the 'y' value from equation (1) in to equation (2). This gives,

$1.60x+1.99(9-x)=16.35\\\\1.60x+17.91-1.99x=16.35\\\\Combining\ like\ terms, we get:\\\\1.60x-1.99x=16.35-17.91\\\\-0.39x=-1.56\\\\x=\frac{-1.56}{-0.39}=4\ pounds$

Now, from equation 1, we have:

$y=9-4=5\ pounds$

Therefore, 4 pounds of strawberries and 5 pounds of apples are bought.

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 3y = 30 (equation 1)

-2x + 3y = 3 (equation 2)

9x = 27 (subtract the two equations to eliminate y)

x = 3 (divide by 9)

7 * 3 + 3y = 30 (Substitute x = 3 into equation 1, it doesn't matter which equation you substitute into)

21 + 3y = 30 (7 * 3 = 21)

3y = 9 (Subtract 21)

y = 3 (divide by 3)

Answer is (3, 3)
