10.
a) x- is the time after which the total cost is the same.
24 + 99x - is the cost in the dealership
45 + 89x is the cost at the local mechanic
24 +99x = 45 + 89x
99x - 89x = 45 - 24
10x = 21
x= 2.1 (hours)
b) 24 +99x < 45 + 89x
x< 2.1
The repairs cost less in dealership when work takes less than 2.1, and the dealership is better, because the cost of parts is less in the dealership.
No srry but you can try asking someone else
Multiply the second question by -1 to cancel out the y’s. then add them. 11x=-11
x=-1
substitute that back into one of the equations
-3(-1)+y=-5
3+y=-5
y=-8
