Multiply the first equation by 4 (so that both equations will have 8x terms) and then subtract:
8x-20y = -24
8x +3y = 68
------------
0 -23y = -92
Now divide both sides by -23:
y = 4
Find x by plugging y=4 into either equation:
8x +3(4) = 68
8x = 68 - 12
8x = 56
x = 7
So the answer is ordered pair is (7,4)
Answer:
a = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for calculating the slope of a line is expressed as;
m = ∆y/∆x
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
Given
m = 1/2
x1 = a
y1 = 14
x2 = 8
y2 = a
Required.
Value of a
Substitute the given parameters into the formula
1/2 = a-14/8-a
Cross multiply
1(8-a) = 2(a-14)
8-a = 2a-28
Collect like terms
-a-2a = -28-8
-3a = -36
a = -36/-3
a = 12
Hence the value of a is 12
Answer:
Area 1 is the best option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Data:
Area 1 = 0.75 dam square
Price = €11,620
Area 2 = 0.009 ha
at €193,500
Area 3 = 0.84a
at €68,900
Where ha ( hectare )
a ( area )
Solution
First we convert all areas to square meter ( m² )
Area 1 = 100 * 0.75 dam square
= 75m²
Cost of area 1/ square meter
= €11,620 / 75m²
= €154.93 / square meter
Area 2 = 0.009 ha * 10,000
= 90m²
Cost of area 2 / square meter
= €193,500 / 90m²
= €2,150 / square meter
Area 3 = 0.84a * 100
= 84m²
= Cost of area 3 / square meter
= €68,900 / 84m²
= €820.23 / square meter
Answer:
3 avacados for $1.99
Step-by-step explanation:
1.99/3=.66333333 or .66
3.50/5=.7 or .70
since 66 cents is cheaper than 70 cents its a better deal to get the three avacados rather than the 5
