Answer:

x=0, y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, for substitution, you need to solve for y in terms of x, I'll do this for the first eqyation

8y=-7x+12

y=-7/8x+3/2, now plug in y in the second equation

-4x+2(-7/8x+3/2)=3, solve for x now

-4x-7/4x+3=3,

-4x-7/4x=0, x=0 now plug in 0 for either equation to solve for y

-4(0)+2y=3

2y=3, y=3/2

Gentry poured 23.5 ounces of milk and 7.75 ounces of cream in a mixing bowl.

denpristay [2]

Notice that because the capacity of the bowl is 35.5 ounces, but there has already been 31.25 ounces total added to it (23.5 ounces + 7.75 ounces), all that needs to be done is subtract 31.25 from 35.5:
35.5 - 31.25 = 4.25 ounces of cream could be added

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

He should pay $2,790.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time, in years.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

$T = E + P$
