Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given variable definitions, we can write the equations ...
y = x + 9
2(x +y) = 30
__
Solving the second equation for y, we have ...
y = 15 -x
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
15 -x = x +9
6 = 2x . . . . . . . . . add x-9
3 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3+9 = 12 . . . . substitute into the first equation
The numbers are (x, y) = (3, 12).
2x = 15 - 3x -- add 3x to both sides
5x = 15 -- divide both sides by 5
x = 3 -- simplest form
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The x intercept is represented by the coordinate (x,0) on x axis.
So, to find the x intercept ,we need to equate y=0 in the equation 20x+70y=420
=> 20x+ 70*0=420
=> x=420/20 =21.
x intercept is (21,0).
The y-intercept would be (0, 13)
