Multiply first equation by 2:
10x + 2y = 18
Subtract the second equation from this so that the 2y terms cancel:
10x - 3x = 18 - 4
7x = 14
x = 2
Plug into first equation to find y:
5(2) + y = 9
10 + y = 9
y = -1
The answer is (2,-1)
4d = 24 would be the right equation. To double check you would divide both sides by 4 (the number of legs) to find the amount of dogs.
Answer: Company B charges $(15.5+0.12x) more for x miles than company A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of miles.
Total charge = Flat charge + (charge per mile) x (Number of miles)
Given:
For Company A ,
Flat charge= $45
Charge per mile = 11 cents = 0.11 [ 1 dollar = 100 cents i.e. 1 cent = 0.01 dollar]
Total charge = 45+0.01x
For Company B,
Flat charge= $60.50
Charge per mile = 13 cents = 0.13
Total charge = 60.50+0.13x
Difference in charge = Charge for company B - Charge for company A
= 60.50+0.13x-(45+0.01x)
= 15.5+0.12x
Hence, Company B charges $(15.5+0.12x) more for x miles than company A.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
let the no. be 'x'
By question,
2x-8=6
or, 2x =6+8
or,2x = 14
or,x = 7
therefore, the no. is 7.
