Answer: Choice C) -11

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

The first equation given is y = 3 - 1/2x
In other words, y is the same as 3 - 1/2x. 
We can replace y in the second equation with 3 - 1/2x
This is known as substitution (think of a substitute teacher who is a temporary replacement for your teacher)

Doing this leads to...
3x+4y = 1
3x+4*y = 1
3x+4*( y ) = 1
3x+4*( 3 - 1/2x ) = 1 <<--- y has been replaced with 3-1/2x
3x+4*(3) +4*(-1/2x) = 1
3x+12-2x = 1
3x-2x+12 = 1
x+12 = 1
x+12-12 = 1-12 <<-- subtracting 12 from both sides
x = -11
Which is why the answer is choice C) -11

How do you do that?????
Elden [556K]
This question is easy once you understand. So when adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing with whole numbers you turn it into a fraction. So 12 is going to become 12/1. 8 1/8 is a mixed number so we have to turn it into an incomplete fraction. Here is how you do it. Multiply the denominator by the who number. So 8 x 8 = 64. Then you add your product to the numerator, which will make it 65. Then after this you keep your denominator giving you 65/8. Now we have to find the common denominator by finding the LCM. So the LCM is 8. Next we divide the old denominator by the new denominator. So 1 goes into 8, 8 times. And next 8 x the numerator. so 8 x 12 = 96. We do the same to the other side. Now we have 96/8 - 65/8 = 31/8. Finally we make this a mixed number. So 31 divided by 8. So you should get 3 7/8. 

I hope this helps! :)

Ms. Moran has started an investment club at BSS. $8000 is invested, some at 10%
labwork [276]
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:

Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%

The problem is then stated as:

(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000

Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
