AURORKA [14]3 years ago

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = 3, then we get this:

2(4(3) - 5) = a(3) + 2

2(12 - 5) = 3a + 2

2(7) = 3a + 2

14 = 3a + 2

12 = 3a

a = 4

The gross federal debt y​ (in trillions of​ dollars) for a certain country in year x is approximated by the following​ equation,
miskamm [114]

Answer: 2008

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The gross federal debt y​ (in trillions of​ dollars) for a certain country in year x is approximated by the equation y =1.18x +1.58 , where x is the number of years after 2000.

To find the year in which the federal debt will be $10.68 trillion, we substitute y= 10.68 in the above equation , we get

10.68 =1.18x +1.58\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.18x=10.68-1.58\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.18x =9.1\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{9.1}{1.18}=7.7118644067\approx8

The required year will be = 2000+8=2008.

Hence, in 2008  the federal debt will be $10.68 trillion.

Lia brought 21 shirts and plants. Her total was $357. Pants cost $25 each, and shirts cost $14.50 each. How many of each item di
g100num [7]

Answer:

x=5 and y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of pants

y = number of shirts

Set up equations:

  1. 25x + 14.5y = 357
  2. x + y = 21

Set the equations up as a system:

25x+14.5y=357

x+y=21

Steps:

Solve the system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

<em>25x + 14.5y=  357</em>

<em>x + y = 21</em>

Step 1: Solve x+y=21 for x:

(x + y) − y = (21) − y(Subtract y from both sides)

x = −y + 21

Step 2: Substitute −y + 21 for x in 25x + 14.5y = 357:

25x + 14.5y = 357

25(−y + 21) + 14.5y = 357

−10.5y + 525 = 357 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

(−10.5y + 525) − 525 = (357) − 525(Subtract 525 to both sides)

−10.5y =  −168

−10.5y / −10.5 = −168 / −10.5 (Divide both sides by -10.5)

y = 16

Step 3: Substitute 16 for y in x = −y + 21:

x = −y + 21

x = −16 + 21

x = 5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=5 and y=16
