two classmates have decided to read all the volumes in a popular series of books. Katie has already read 4 volumes and will cont

inue to read new ones at the rate of 1 volume per week. Maria, who hasn't started reading the series yet, will read 3 volumes per week. At some point, Marina will catch up with Katie and they will be reading the same book. How long will that take? How many volumes will each girl have read by then?

To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this

y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)

The we subtract one equation from the other to solve

0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10

Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20

So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.

Hope this helps, remember that Jesus loves you

Solve the system of equations. <br><br> 10x+y=−20 <br><br> y=2x2−4x−16<br><br> ( , ) and ( , )
Sladkaya [172]
I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it!  (In this case, y)  We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = -1 \frac{1}{3}

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10(-1 \frac{1}{3}) + y = -20
-13 \frac{1}{3} + y = -20 (subtract -13 \frac{1}{3})
y = -6 \frac{2}{3}

The solution for this system of equations is (-1 \frac{1}{3}, -6 \frac{2}{3}).

Marcela is registering for her college classes, which cost $105 per unit. How many units can she take to have a maximum cost of
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Marcela can take up to 13 units.  

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the number of units that Marcela can take for her college classes, we can set up an inequality and solve for the variable.  Since each unit costs $105, we can say that 105u ≤ 1365 where u = the number of units.  The number of units multiplied by the cost per unit, must be less than or equal to $1,365.  In order to solve for 'u', we can use inverse (opposite) operations and get rid of the coefficient by dividing both sides of the inequality by 105.  1365÷105 = 13.  So, the number of units that Marcela can take must be less than or equal to 13 units.
