X = 3
2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x
1. Distribute
8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x
2. Collect like terms
8x - 14 = 4 + 2x
3. Collect like terms again (add 14 and subtract 2x)
6x = 18
4. Divide by 6
x = 3
Flip the second fraction, and then multiply them. when you do that, simplify the total, and you got your answer
A unit rate is just how much it costs per ONE unit of whatever your measuring. Lets say you had a rate of $4.00/8lbs. The unit rate would be $0.50/ ONE lb.
Answer:
(12, 487)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3.7x + 442 ----› Eqn. 1
y = 14.4x + 312 ----› Eqn. 2
Substitute y = (3.7x + 442) into eqn. 2.
y = 14.4x + 312 ----› Eqn. 2
3.7x + 442 = 14.4x + 312
Collect like terms
3.7x - 14.4x = -442 + 312
-10.7x = -130
Divide both sides by -10.7
x = 12.1495327
Substitute x = 12.1495327 into eqn. 1.
y = 3.7x + 442 ----› Eqn. 1
y = 3.7(12.1495327) + 442
y = 486.953271
The solution to the system is rounded to the nearest integer:
