Answer:
(1,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The choices are not visible, however are unnecessary to solve this problem.
Given y = 3x - 2 and y = -2x + 3
[Set them equal to each other]
3x - 2 = -2x + 3
[Find x]
3x + 2x - 2 = 3
3x + 2x = 5
5x = 5
x = 1
[Plug x = 1 to both equations to check and find y]
y = 3x - 2
y = 3(1) - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1
y = -2x + 3
y = -2(1) + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1
Both are equal to y = 1 when x = 1
The point is then: (1,1)
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
Answer:
slope= - 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
He score 48 marks.
This can be found by simply multiplying 80 by 60% (0.6). This will give you your rinal answer of 48.
I hope this helps!
