Answer:
Yes, -x - 3y = -1 is the same as y = -1/3x - 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-x - 3y = -1
Add x to both sides which gives you
-3y = x-1
Divide both sides by -3 which gives you
y = -1/3x-1/3
Reminder whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side!
Hope this helps!
-6x + 10 is the answer!!!!
Ok lets say
popcorn = x and
drinks = y
Jacob: 2x + 3y = 18.25
Zachary: 4x + 2y = 27.50
ok now you have to use these 2 equations to get the answer
4x + 2y = 27.50 ---> 2y = 27.50 - 4x ---> y = 13.75 - 2x
2x + 3y = 18.25
2x + 3(13.75-2x) = 18.25
2x + 41.25 - 6x = 18.25
-4x + 41.25 = 18.25
-4x = -23
x = 5.75 <u><em>One bag of popcorn is $5.75</em></u><em />
4x + 2y = 27.50
4(5.75) + 2y = 27.50
23 + 2y = 27.50
2y = 4.50
y = 2.25 <u><em>One drink is $2.25</em></u><em />
so, that gives you the compounded amount, after 10 years, if you want to know how much interest was earned? well, just subtract the Principal from the Amount, or A - P <--- that's how much interest was earned
