Solve the system of equations by substitution. Show your work in the sketch and write your answer as an ordered pair.

Ede4ka [16]

Let's solve your system by substitution.

−3x+y=−2;y=4x

Rewrite equations:

y=4x;−3x+y=−2

Step: Solvey=4xfor y:

y=4x

Step: Substitute4xforyin−3x+y=−2:

−3x+y=−2

−3x+4x=−2

x=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Step: Substitute−2forxiny=4x:

y=4x

y=(4)(−2)

y=−8(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−8

If total employee benefits are calculated as a percentage of their gross pay, which of the following employees receives the larg

vlabodo [156]

Consider all employees.

gross pay $32,600 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,600 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,600}{33,600}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,600\cdot x=33,600\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,600\cdot 100}{32,600}=\dfrac{33,600}{326} \approx 103.07.$

Employee A receives 3.07% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $32,900 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,000 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,900}{34,000}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,900\cdot x=34,000\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,000\cdot 100}{32,900}=\dfrac{34,000}{329} \approx 103.34.$

Employee B receives 3.34% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $33,400 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,900 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,400}{33,900}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,400\cdot x=33,900\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,900\cdot 100}{33,400}=\dfrac{33,900}{334} \approx 101.50.$

Employee C receives 1.50% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $33,700 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,700 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,700}{34,700}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,700\cdot x=34,700\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,700\cdot 100}{33,700}=\dfrac{34,700}{337} \approx 102.97.$

Employee D receives 2.97% of gross pay in employee benefits.

Answer: correct choice is B.
