Answer
x-19=27
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
27/7 or Decimal: 3.857143
Y =1/3x - 1 so slope = 1/3
if <span>perpendicular, slope = -3
passing thru (4,-2) then
y = mx +b
-2=-3(-2) + b
-2=6+b
-2-6 = b
so b = -8
equation:
y = -3x - 8</span>
X and y intercepts. So x intercept is where y=0 and y intercept is where x=0. Also positive or negative meaning where y>0 (positive) and where y<0 (negative). Use these hints to do it. If you can’t then just let me know...
