You find the variables, y and x.
x=4
y=4
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
it would be 25 dollors
Step-by-step explanation:
100 divided by 4 is 25
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve systems of equations using either substitution or elimination. For these problems, I recommend elimination. I'll do the first one as an example.
-3x + 16y = 9
-4x + 8y = 12
Multiply the second equation by -2.
8x − 16y = -24
Add to the first equation (notice the y's cancel out).
(-3x + 16y) + (8x − 16y) = 9 − 24
5x = -15
Solve for x.
x = -3
Now you can plug this into either equation to find y.
-3(-3) + 16y = 9
9 + 16y = 9
y = 0
The solution is (-3, 0).
A. Stiles. For Melendez, each family member uses about 390 kilowatts of electricity. For Barton, each family member uses about 355 kilowatts of energy. Stiles uses 745 kilowatts per family member. 745 divided by 355 rounds up to 2 while 745 divided by 390 rounds up to 2. This means that the Stiles family uses twice the amount of electricity per person than the other families.
b. The Melendez family. The Melendez family uses 875 gallons per family member. The Barton family uses about 1067 gallons of water while the Stiles family uses about 1250 gallons. 875< 1067< 1250. This means that the Melendez family uses the least amount of water per family member.
