Answer:

x - y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 4y = 13 → (1)

4x + 5y = 14 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term , that is

(5x - 4x) + (4y - 5y) = 13 - 14

x - y = - 1

Answer:

x = 1

y = 2

x - y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 4y= 13, then 4y = 13 - 5x, then y = (13 - 5x)/4

4x + 5y = 14

substitute for y:

4x + 5(13 - 5x)/4 = 14

simplifying:

4x + (65 - 25x)/4 = 14

4x + 16.25 -6.25x = 14

-2.25x = -2.25

x = 1

y = (13 - 5)/4 = 2

A private ship carries two types of cargo: large crates and extra-large crates. Each type of crate weighs a specific amount.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

G. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

32 x 335 = 10720

16,100 - 10720 = 5380/190 = 28.3157894737

275 x 32 = 8800

18,800 - 8800 = 10,000/400 = 25 (This is the closer).

30 x 335 = 10,050

16,100 - 10,050 = 6050/190 = 31.8421052632

30 x 275 = 8250

18,800 - 8250 = 10550/400 = 26.375 (Same reason why it does't work)

25 x 335 = 8375

16,100 - 8375 = 7725/190 = 40.6578947368

25 x 275 = 6875

18,800 - 6875 = 11925/400 = 29.8125

24 x 335 = 8040

16,100 - 8040 = 8060/190 = 42.4210526316

24 x 275 = 6600

18,800 - 6600 = 12200/400 = 30.5

Customers at Beans Coffee Shop have entered their name in a drawing for one of 4 gift cards. The gift cards each have a value of

Dimas [21]

Answer:

36,060,024 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose the winner in this case, the order is very important because it determines who is chosen first out of the seventy-nine customers whose names were entered for the draw.

The above supports the reason Permutation will be used instead of Combination.

The total number of ways is given by:

⁷⁹P₄ = 79!/(79-4)!

= 79!/75!

= [79 x 78 x 77 x 76 x75!]/75!

= 79 x 78 x 77 x 76

= 36,060,024 ways

This implies that there are 36,060,024 ways the Bean Coffee Shop could choose the winners.

- 8x + 44 ≥ 60
- 8x ≥ 60 - 44
- 8x ≥ 16
x ≤ - 2

- 4x + 50 < 58
- 4x < 58 - 50
- 4x < 8
x > - 2

Now put the two together. Logically, these two answers since a number cannot be both less than AND greater than - 2.

Your answer should be no solution.
