Answer:
15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Reading at one end, initial reading = 3.5 cm
Reading at the other end, final reading = 18.5 cm
Length of needle :
Final Reading - Initial reading
18.5cm - 3.5cm
= 15cm
4x - 5y = -15
y = -3x + 22
Plug in your y= equation into the y variable in the other equation
4x - 5 (y) = -15
^^
y = (-3x + 22) = -15
4x - 5 (-3x + 22) = -15
Distribute
4x + 15x - 110 = -15
Combine like terms and add 110 over to -15
19x = 95
Then, divide the whole equation by 19
x = 5
Then, plug in your x into your y= equation
y = -3 (5) + 22
y = -15 + 22
y = 7
<em><u>x = 5</u></em>
<em><u>y = 7</u></em>
<em><u>(5, 7)</u></em>
Answer:
C. 9x + 224.36 ≥ 759.84
Step-by-step explanation:
If each team member raises x dollars, the 9 team members will have raised 9x dollars. That amount added to the amount they already have must equal or exceed the amount required:
9x + 224.36 ≥ 759.84 . . . . matches selection C
