y = -1 + 3/8x
2x - 5y = 6
Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.
2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6
2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6
2x - 15/8x = 1
16/8x - 15/8x = 1
1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself
x = 8
Plug x into either of the equations.
y = -1 + 3/8(8)
y = -1 + 3
y = 2
2(8) - 5y = 6
16 - 5y = 6
-5y = -10
y = 2
(8,2)
Answer:
1/2a-19=-13
Step-by-step explanation:
One half of a number represents the phrase "1/2a" (in this case the variable/number is 'a'". Then because it says "nineteen less than", that means you subtract 19 from one half of the variable.
Answer:
There would be 12 gallons left
Step-by-step explanation:
If there was 76 of the 2 quarter pitchers that would make 152 Qt and 152 Qt equals 38 gallons so 50 - 38 = 12
Let x and y be the two positive numbers. - Their product is 192: x * y = 192 equation 1
- the sum of the first plus twice the second is a minimum: x + 2y
<span>From the first equation, y = 192 / x.
Substitute that into the second equation:
</span>
x + 2y = x + 2(<span>192/x ) = x + 384/x
</span>f(x) is minimum when f'(x) = 0 and f"(x) > 0
f(x)= <span>x + 384/x
</span>
f(x) = 1-384/x^2
<span>1-384 / x^2 = 0
x^2-384 = 0
x^ 2= 354
x = radical 354 = 18.8 here i'm confused why the number is decimal

No because it is equal to -7.5 I think
