To solve a multi-variable problem, you need to isolate single variables. To do this, there are two ways to do it. One way you eliminate one of the variables and the other you substitute.

In this example, you are being asked to eliminate one of the variables. To do this, you multiply 2x+2y= 12 by 2 and get 4x+4y = 24.

See how now both equations contain a 4y?

Using this you can subtract one equation from the other.

5x+4y=28

- 4x+4y=24

And then you get x=4

To get the other variable, you substitute 4 in for x (in one of the equations) and then solve for y.

2(4) + 2y =12

8+2y= 12

2y=4

y=2

Therefore, x = 4 and y = 2

A pencil and a ruler cost 2.50 together. The ruler costs $1.00 more than the pencil. How much is the pencil
Alenkasestr [34]
P + r = 2.50
r = p + 1

p + p + 1 = 2.50
2p + 1 = 2.50
2p = 2.50 - 1
2p = 1.50
p = 1.50/2
p = 0.75 <=== pencil cost 75 cents

r = p + 1
r = 0.75 + 1
r = 1.75 .....ruler cost 1.75

a leaky faucet is losing water and is filling a 5-gallon bucket every 20 hours. At that rate, how many gallons of water will the
Arisa [49]
You can either scale down so you can get to 48 hours or just multiply from 20 to 48 and I'll explain both ways.
Scaling down:
You can find how many hours it takes to get to 1 gallon in the bucket by dividing
20÷5=4; It takes 4 hours to fill it up to one gallon.
You can now divide 48 by 4 to see how many gallons it'll take up to 48 hours.
48÷4=12
Quicker:
Divide 48 by 20;
48÷20=2.4
Now multiply since it filled it up to 5 gallons.
2.4×5=12
It'll fill 12 gallons in 48 hours.

The graph of a rational function has local maxima at (-1,0) and (8,0). The complex number 2+3i is a zero of the function. What i
Aneli [31]
Any polynomial's graph cannot have two simultaneous maxima, so they must contain a minima between them. Thus, the total number of turning points of the graph is 3. Generally, when plotting a polynomial, the number of turning points is:
n = d -1; where d is the degree of the polynomial and n is the number of turning points. Thus, this function's degree must be at least 4. The answer is b.

Marissa is painting her rectangular patio, with the exception of a bench that does not need to be painted:
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

A = (x + 15)(x + 10) − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+15)(x+10)-5=A would be a solution

To make this easier, let's assign x a value. Let's say 3.

(3+15)(3+10)-5=A

(18)(13)-5=A

234-5=A

A=229

Now with this, we put x in the answer choice and the answer that gives an area of 229 is correct.

A. A=(3+20)(3+10)+12=(23)(13)+12=299+12=311 <u>Answer A is wrong.</u>

B. A=(3+20)(3+10)-12=(23)(13)-12=299-12=287 <u>Answer B is wrong.</u>

C. A=(3+26)(3+15)=(29)(18)=522 <u>Answer C is wrong.</u>

D. A=(3+14)(3+8)=(17)(11)=187 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>

It's either I'm wrong or the answer choices are wrong.

New answer choices!

A. A=(3+20)(3+11)

=(23)(14)=322 Answer A is wrong.

B. A=(3+15)(3+10)+5

=(18)(13)+5=234+5=239  Answer B is wrong.

C. A=(3+15)(3+10)−5

=(18)(13)-5=234-5=229 Answer C is correct.

D. A=(3+9)(3+10)=(12)(13)=156 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>
