Answer:

15 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

I used an insert and check kind of method. Basically you insert numbers and check if they work for both equations. the equations are as follow:

X + Y = 38

X - Y = 8

I inserted various combinations of numbers and we'll use one as reference.

I used 16 and 22. 16 and 22 correctly fits the requirements of the first equation but when we do 22 - 16 we see that it equals 6. this is 2 off from the second equation. Using this info I ask myself, was the answer close or far from the answer needed.

Hope this answered any questions. please comment on this if you need any othern have a nice day!

Answer:

Since the sum is 38, y must be 15. And indeed the difference between 23 and 15 is 8, so it's correct.

ZanzabumX [31]
You'd fine the unit rate, in the context of the problem it would be how many minutes it takes for 1 pizza to cook
20/4= 5 minutes for 1 pizza
we are finding how long it would take to cook 10
5 times 10= 50, so 50 minutes

Solve the system y = -x + 7 and y = -0.5(x - 3)^2 + 8.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

(1,6) & (7,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x + 7

y = -0.5(x - 3)² + 8

To solve the system, solve these two equations simultaneously

-x + 7 = -0.5(x - 3)² + 8

-x + 7 = -0.5(x² - 6x + 9) + 8

-x + 7 = -0.5x² + 3x - 4.5 + 8

0.5x² - 4x + 3.5 = 0

x² - 8x + 7 = 0

x² - 7x - x + 7 = 0

x(x - 7) - (x - 7) = 0

(x - 1)(x - 7) = 0

x = 1, 7

y = -1 + 7 = 6

y = -7 + 7 = 0

(1,6) (7,0)

Since the system has two distinct solutions, the line and the curve meet at two distinct poibts9: (1,6) & (7,0)

timurjin [86]

Answer:

  • $10 per hour
  • 0.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Carys' earnings in one hour, fill in h=1 in the formula:

  E = 10·1 = 10

Carys earns 10 dollars per hour.

__

To find the number of hours required to earn 1 dollar, fill in E=1 in the formula:

  1 = 10h

  0.1 = h . . . . . divide by 10

It takes 0.1 hours for Carys to earn 1 dollar.
