Answer:

x = the first mystery number = 2

y = the second mystery number = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the first mystery number

y = the second mystery number

8*x + 10*y = 24

8x + 10y = 24

7*x + 10*y = 26

7x + 10y = 26

8x + 10y = 24 (1)

7x + 10y = 26 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate y

8x - 7x = 26 - 24

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (1)

8x + 10y = 24 (1)

8(2) + 10y = 24

16 + 10y = 24

10y = 24 - 16

10y = 8

y = 8/10

y = 0.8

x = the first mystery number = 2

y = the second mystery number = 0.8

How do you solve f(x) ?
Talja [164]
F (x) = 2x + 3; find f (–1)" (pronounced as "f-of-x equals 2x plus three; find f-of-negative-one"). In either notation, you do exactly the same thing: you plug –1 in for x, multiply by the 2, and then add in the 3, simplifying to get a final value of +1

During his shift, Damion filled 8 orders in 30 minutes. If he keeps up that rate, how many orders will he fill in 7 hours?
Veronika [31]
The answer is 28
30 minutes is half of an hour so you have to divide 7 by 2 which is 3.5 and then multiply 3.5 by 8 to get 28
