If c is cents (¢) then she would receive $19.74 or in cents that would be 1974¢
5x - 14y = 22 ⇒ 5x - 14y = 22
-6x + 7y = 3 ⇒ <u>12x - 14y = -6</u>
<u>-7x</u> = <u>28</u>
-7 -7
x = -4
5x - 14y = 22
5(-4) - 14y = 22
-20 - 14y = 22
<u>+ 20 + 20</u>
<u>-14y</u> = <u>42</u>
-14 -14
y = -3
(x, y) = (-4, -3)
.48 is equal to 48/100=12/25 so
28 12/25
The total area of Alaska in sq miles is 591,004 sq miles.
In doing this you can use the factoring method to do this faster. Start by dividing both sides by two to simplify the equation. X^2 now equals 100.
You can move 100 to the other side of the equation so that x^2-100=0. You can now factor and solve using the zero product property.
x^2-100=0
(x+10)(x-10) = 0
x equals 10 and -10.
