<h3>Explanation</h3>

Given the system of equations.

$\begin{cases} y = - 4x \\ 23 - 5y = 44 \end{cases}$

Substitute y = -4x in the second equation.

$23 - 5( - 4x) = 44 \\ 23 + 20x = 44 \\ 20x = 44 - 23 \\ 20x = 21 \\ x = \frac{21}{20}$

Substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the first equation.

$y = - 4x \Longrightarrow y = - 4( \frac{21}{20} ) \\ y = \cancel{ - 4}( \frac{21}{ \cancel{20}} ) \Longrightarrow y = - \frac{21}{5} \\ y = - \frac{21}{5}$

Answer Check by substituting both values in two equations.

First Equation

$y = - 4x \Longrightarrow - \frac{21}{5} = - 4( \frac{21}{20} ) \\ - \frac{21}{5} = \cancel{ - 4}( \frac{21}{ \cancel{20}} ) \\ - \frac{21}{5} = - \frac{21}{5} \: \: \: \checkmark$

Second Equation

$23 - 5y = 44 \\ 23 - 5( - \frac{21}{5} ) = 44 \\23 - \cancel{5}( - \frac{21}{ \cancel{5}} ) = 44 \\ 23 + 21 = 44 \\ 44 = 44 \: \: \: \: \checkmark$

Both equations are true for the value of x and value of y.

<h3>Answer</h3>

 $\begin{cases} x = \frac{21}{20} \\ y = - \frac{21}{5} \end{cases}$

PLEASE HELP!! Trevor is writing a paper that must be 50,000 words long. He had already written 23,210 words. Write an inequality

almond37 [142]

Answer:

50,000 ≤ 23,210 + 5x

x = Average number of words per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with 50,000 because that's how many words the paper needs to have.

Use "≤" because Trevor needs to write at least 50,000 words. (He can write more).

Trevor already wrote 23,210 words plus x words per week for 5 weeks.

(Solving for x will help you find the average number of words Trevor must write per week for 5 weeks).

Short sleeve t-shirts cost $10 and long sleeve t-shirts cost $15. If the t-shirt shop made $485 selling 38 total t-shirts, how m

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The t-shirt shop sold 21 long sleeve shirts and 17 short sleeve shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we should create a system of equations. Let's let short sleeve t-shirts be represented by the variable s and long sleeve t-shirts be represented by the variable l.

We know that the shop sold 38 total shirts, or in other words, the amount of long sleeve and short sleeve shirts combined is 38. If we write this as an equation, we get: s + l = 38.

We can make another equation with the prices of the shirts. If we take each type of shirt and multiply each price by the number sold and add them together, we should get the shop's total profits. Represented as an equation, this is: 10s + 15l = 485.

Now that we have two equations, we should try to solve the system. In this case, it is easiest to use substitution, so we are going to rewrite the first equation in terms of one variable.

s + l = 38

s = 38 - l

If we substitute this equivalent value for the variable s into the second equation, we get:

10s + 15l = 485

10(38 - l) + 15l = 485

Now we have an equation that only has one variable, so we can simplify both sides and then isolate the variable.

380 - 10l + 15l = 485

380 + 5l = 485

5l = 105

l = 21

Now, we can substitute this value for l back into the first equation to solve for the variable s.

s + l = 38

s + 21 = 38

s = 17

Therefore, the t-shirt shop sold 21 long sleeve shirts and 17 short sleeve shirts.

Hope this helps!

ΔCAR has coordinates C (2, 4), A (1, 1), and R (3, 0). A translation maps point C to C' (3, 2). Find the coordinates of A' and R

shutvik [7]

Answer:

$A'= (2,-1)$ and $R'=(4,-2)$ under this translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation in $R^{2}$ is a mapping T from $R^{2}$ to $R^{2}$ defined by $T(x,y) = (x + v_1,y+v_2)$ , where $v=(v_1,v_2)$ is a fixed vector in $R^{2}$ .

From the problem we know that $T(2,4)=(3,2)$ , so we need to find the values $v_1$ and $v_2$ such that $T(2,4) = (2 + v_1,4+v_2)=(3,2)$ , so $3=2 + v_1$ and $4+v_2=2$ , thus $v_1=1$ and $v_2=2$ .
