x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer
x = 2
y = 1
Independent is hour
Dependent is her rate ($18) because it DEPENDS on how long she works
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Jenny makes a profit of $2 for each bar of chocolate that she sells, if she sells a total of 500 chocolate bars, her profit would be:
Profit for 500 chocolate bars = profit for each chocolate bar * 500 bars
Profit for 500 chocolate bars = $2 per bar * 500 bars
Profit for 500 chocolate bars = $1000
Also she want to buy a laptop worth $998. This would be possible after selling 500 bars because $1000 > $998. After buying the laptop she would have $2 remaining ($1000 - $998)
Answer:
I love the blank question,it seems glitched
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the quadratic formula works but if you know there are 2 answers (highest power of problem tells you how many solutions) then
10x^2 = 5x
So either x = 0, giving 0=0. Or divide by 5x
2x = 1
x = 0.5
