Answer: x=3, y=4/5 or 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x and y, you can use elimination.

8x+5y=28

4x+5y=16

In both equations, there is a 5y. This way, we can cancel them out by subtracting the 2 equations.

4x=12

x=3

Now that we know x, we can plug it back into either equation to find y.

8(3)+5y=28

24+5y=28

5y=4

y=4/5=0.8

Answer:

x=3, y=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=28

4x+5y=16

Subtract the second simultaneous equation from the first.

You are left with: 4x=12

12/4=3

x=3

Substitute this back into one of the equations.

8(3)+5y=28

8*3=24

28-24=4

4=5y

4/5=0.8

y=0.8

The level of a lake in inches is falling linearly . The lake level is 452 inches on Jan 1 and then 378 inches on Jan 21. Find a

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The level of a lake is falling linearly.

On Jan 1, the level is 452 inches

On Jan 21, the level is 378 inches.

Now, a linear function can be represented in the form:

$y=mx+b$

Where, 'm' is the rate of change and 'b' is initial level

$x\to number\ of\ days\ passed\ since\ Jan\ 1$

$y\to Lake\ level$

So, let Jan 1 corresponds to the initial level and thus b = 452 in

Now, the rate of change is given as the ratio of the change in level of lake to the number of days passed.

So, from Jan 1 to Jan 21, the days passed is 21.

Change in level = Level on Jan 21 - Level on Jan 1

Change in level = 378 in - 452 in = -74 in

Now, rate of change is given as:

$m=\frac{-74}{21}$

Hence, the function to represent the lake level is $y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452$

Where, 'x' is the number of days passed since Jan 1.
