Answer:
x = -2/5
y = 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitution method;
-2x + 3y = 8 -----------(i)
x + y =2 -----------(ii)
x = 2 - y
substitute the value of x in equ (i)
(-2)* (2-y) + 3y = 8
-4 + 2y + 3y = 8
5y = 8 + 4
y = 12/5
substitute the value of y in equ (ii)
x + 12/5 = 2
x = 2 - 12/5
= 2*5/1*5 - 12/5
= 10 -12/5 = -2/5
Ans: x = -2/5
y = 12/5
elimination method:
-2x + 3y = 8 -----------(i)
x + y =2 -----------(ii)
(i) ====> -2x + 3y = 8
multiply equ (ii) by 2 ====> <u> 2x + 2y = 4</u>
add (i) and (ii) 5y = 12
y = 12/5
Substitute in equ (ii)
x + 12/5 = 2
x = 2 - 12/5
= 2*5/1*5 - 12/5
= 10 -12/5 = -2/5
Ans: x = -2/5
y = 12/5
Answer:
A.) 20x + 2y = 500
B.) y-intercept = 250; its meaning is how many boxes of pencils they started with.
C.) x-intercept = 25; How many T-shirts they can sell at most
Step-by-step explanation:
2y - 500 = -20x
20x + 2y - 500 = 0
20x + 2y = 500
y-intercept = 250; its meaning is how many boxes of pencils they started with.
20x + 2y = 500
20(0) + 2y = 500
2y = 500
2y/2 = 500/2
y = 250
x-intercept = 25; How many T-shirts they can sell at most
20x + 2y = 500
20x + 2(0) = 500
20x = 500
20x/20 = 500/20
x = 25
It would be $2.6 (or $2.60) per pound.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
product means to multiply, hence the product of 12 and k is
12 × k = 12k ( this is 84 means equal to 84 ), that is
12k = 84 ( divide both sides by 12 )
k = 7 ← is the solution
