Answer:

  (x, y) = (1, 7.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the first equation for y, then substitute into the second equation.

  y = 8 -1/2x . . . . . subtract 1/2x

  2(8 -1/2x) = x +14

  16 -x = x + 14 . . .eliminate parentheses

  2 = 2x . . . . . . . add x-14

  1 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 8 -1/2(1) = 7 1/2

The solution is (x, y) = (1, 7 1/2).

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Type the equations into a graphing calculator and let it show you the solution.

Complete this activity. Interest at the rates of 5%, 6%, and 8% is earned on investments of $13,000, $12,000, and $4,000 respect
zvonat [6]

The answer is 1690. First find the amount of interest by a single investment by multiplying the investment amount by the percent interest in decimal form. Then calculate the total by adding up all the products of investment times interest. Matrices will allow to multiply two things together and add the products up all at the same time. So we need to find the investment matrix and interest matrix.

Investment matrix A (transposed)            = (a1 a2 a3) = (13,000 12,000 4,000)

Interest Matrix B                                       = (b1 b2 b3) = (0.05 0.06 0.08)

Amount of interest earned                        = a1b1 + a2b2 + a3b3

Amount of interest earned                        = (0.05) (13,000) + (0.06) (12,000) +                                                                                  (0.08)(4,000)

Amount of interest earned                        = 1690

sam is cooking cookies the recipe calls for 3 4/5 cuos of flour. she accidentally puts in 5 1/4 cups how many extra cups did she
nevsk [136]
First, we have to get the fractions to common denominators.

4/5 = 16/20
1/4 = 5/20

5 5/20 - 3 16/20 = 1 9/20

She put 1 9/20 extra cups in.
