PLEASE HELP !!!! SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS

Mathematics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Maddie got 810 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call Maddie's votes x, and her opponent's votes y.

x + y = 1485

x = y + 0.20y (because she got the same number of votes as her opponent, PLUS another 20% of that number. Divide 20% by 100 to get the decimal equivalent) This can also be written as x = 1.2y

So our system is

x + y = 1485   and

x = 1.2y

Substitute the second equation's value for x into the first equation:

1.2y + y = 1485 then solve for y

2.2y = 1485

divide both sides by 2.2

y = 675

substitute that in and solve for x

x + y =1485

x + 675 = 1485

subtract 675 from both sides

x = 810

Please let me know if you have questions on this answer. Hope it helps.

Dog food costs 9$ per bag and cat food costs 8$ per bag. if billy spent 89$ and purchased 6 bags of dog food, how many bags of c
REY [17]
6 bags of dog food × $9 = 54
$89 total - $54 spent on dog food = $35 spent on cat food

$35 / $8 = 4.375, but you can't have decimals for cat food bags so round down.

= 4 bags of cat food

Help please!<br><br> How do I graph f(x)=3/4x+2? What points do I plot?
mariarad [96]

(0, 2 ), (4,5)

to draw a graph of a straight line , we only require 2 points

select any 2 values for x, substitute them into the equation for the corresponding y- coordinates

x = 0 → y = 0+2 = 2 ⇒ (0, 2)

x = 4 → y = 3+2 = 5 ⇒ (4, 5)

Plot these 2 points and draw a straight line through them for graph
