Answer:
y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both expressions are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:
3x+5=8x+3
5=5x+3
2=5x
2/5=x
0.4=x
Now to solve y:
y=8(2/5)+3
y=16/5+3
y=3.2+3
y=6.2
Check answers:
6.2=3(0.4)+5
6.2=1.2+5
6.2=6.2
6.2=8(0.4)+3
6.2=3.2+3
6.2=6.2
Answers work, so y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2) as an ordered pair
answer:
the decimal point shifts to the right to represent each multiplication by 10
Step-by-step explanation:
an example is 1.23*10
would give you 12.3 and if you multiply it by 100 it would give you 123
Answer:
the last option is the correct one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: you bought 9 burgers and 16 tacos
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of burgers that you bought.
Let y represent the number of tacos that you bought.
You buy a total of 25 burgers and tacos. It means that
x + y = 25
The burgers cost $3.50 each and the tacos cost $2.25 each. The total cost of the burgers and tacos that you bought is $67.50. It means that
3.5x + 2.25y = 67.5- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 25 - y into 1, it becomes
3.5(25 - y) + 2.25y = 67.5
87.5 - 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5
- 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5 - 87.5
- 1.25y = - 20
y = - 20/ - 1.25
y = 16
x = 25 - y = 25 - 16
x = 9
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 
= 
← factor denominator
- = 
[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]
Multiply through by x(x + 1)
4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4
4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x =
However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then
solution is x =
