Answer:
the temperature drops 2 degrees F
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
Answer:
x = -1, PR = 38.
Step-by-step explanation:
As Q is the midpoint of PR
PQ = QR
6x + 25 = 16 - 3x
9x = -9
x = -1.
PR
= 6x + 25 + 16 - 3x
= 6(-1) + 25 + 16 - 3(-1)
= -6 + 25 + 16 + 3
= 38.
A linear equation can be represented by:
y = mx + b
Where m = slope, and b = y intercept.
The slope is a rate of change, so our slope is $150.
The y intercept is the point where the equation crosses the y axis, or the "initial amount" in this case $500.
So our equation will be:
y = 150x + 500.
