<span>8x + 8y = -48
-------------------------
Plug in -8 for x
(8) (-8) + 8y = -48
-------------------------------
Simplify
</span><span><span><span>(8) </span><span>(<span>−8</span>) </span></span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>−64 </span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span>-----------------------------------------
Add 64 to each side
<span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>+ 64 </span>= <span><span>−48 </span>+ 64
</span><span>8y </span>= <span>16
</span>---------------------------------------------------
Finally, divide each side by 8
8y ÷ 8 = 16 ÷ 8
y = <span>2
</span>----------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2 is your answer
Answer:
This means that the cost of 2 heating oil gallons is 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x + 6 , where x is the number of heating oil gallons.
And f(x) = 4x + 6 is the equation for the cost of x gallons.
When the number of gallons are 2 then the cost is;
f(2) = 4(2) + 6 = 8 + 6 = 14
This means that the cost of 2 heating oil gallons is 14.
1200 times .09 = 108
so $108 interest
1200 +108 = 1308
1308 divided by 18 equals 72.67
so $72.67 a month
