The answer would be True. It is NOT.
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
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of line ST = Slope of line PQ = -3.
y = -3x + c
When x = 3, y = -1
=> (-1) = -3(3) + c, c = 8
Therefore the equation of line ST is y = -3x + 8 and the y-intercept is 8.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
inverse variation. if value of x increase, y value decrease.
For example,
If x=10; y =1/10 = 0.1
If x =100 ; y = 1/100 = 0.01
(-5, 3) (-2, 6) (-4, -2)
those will be your answers
