Answer:

4, 22  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 30

5x + y = 42

Subtract the first from the second

3x = 12

x = 4 so socks cost $4

Put that into one of the original equations

2x + y = 30

2(4) + y = 30

8 + y = 30

y = 22 slippers cost $22

Answer:

y=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second statement as equation 1 and the first statement as equation 2 and subtract to eliminate y:

5x + y = 42

-(2x + y = 30)

--------------------

3x   + 0 = 12      --> x = 4

substituting x = 4 into 2x + y = 30  --> 8 + y = 30   --> y = 22

(x,y) = (4,22)

checking by adding the two equations substituting in (4,22)

20 + 22 = 42

8 + 22  = 30

---------------------

28 + 44 = 72

   72 = 72       √

You run 18 miles in 2 hours and 45 miles in 5 hours how fast are you running
Lesechka [4]
So let's find the unit rate of these.

18 mi/ 2 hrs = 9 mi/ 1hr

45 mi / 5 hrs = 9 mi/ 1 hr

So you are running 9 miles an hour.

If you have any questions please comment! :)

Determine whether the equation represents a direct variation. If it does, find the constant of variation. 2y=5x+1
coldgirl [10]
It does represent a direct variation.

Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x

Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2  + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2
