Explanation:
Pair 1 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $600/20% = $3,000.
Pair 2 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $1200/10% = $12,000.
Both pairs can be true if Jeff's monthly income increased by a factor of 4 in the 20 years from 1990 to 2010.
Obviously, Jeff spent more on housing in 2010. (Fortunately for Jeff, that larger expenditure was a smaller fraction of his income.)
Answer:
x = 704/39 ( <----Fraction)
Step-by-step explanation:
28 squared minus 39x minus 80 equals 0
784-39x-80=0 evaluate the power
704-39x=0 Subtract the numbers
-39x=-704 move the constant to the right hand side and change it's sign
Divide on both side to get x = 704/39
Answer:
1 x=-2.5 y = -5.5
2. x=5 y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
1) What is the solution of the given system?
5x-y=-7
3x-y=-2
Multiply the second equation by -1
-1*(3x-y)=-1(-2)
-3x +y = 2
Now add the first equation to the modified second equation
5x-y=-7
-3x +y = 2
------------------
2x = -5
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = -5/2
x = -2.5
Now we need to find y
-3x+y =2
-3(-2.5) +y =2
7.5 +y =2
Subtract 7.5 from each side
7.5 -7.5 +y =2-7.5
y = -5.5
2) what is the solution of the given system?
5x+7y=32
8x+6y=46
Divide the second equation by 2
8x/2+6y/2=46/2
4x+3y =23
Multiply the first equation by 4
4 (5x+7y)=32*4
20x+28y = 128
Now multiply the modified 2nd equation by -5
-5(4x+3y )=-5(23
)
-20x -15y = -115
Lets add the new equations together to eliminate x
20x+28y = 128
-20x -15y = -115
---------------------
13y = 13
Divide each side by 13
13y/13 =13/13
y=1
Now substitute back in to find x
5x+7y=32
5x +7(1) =32
5x +7 =32
Subtract 7 from each side
5x+7-7 =32-7
5x =25
Divide by 5
5x/5 =25/5
x=5

Answer:
The width is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the rectangular yoga mat can be found using the formula;
.
.
It was given that the width of the mat is eight less than half the length.
We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;
.
.
.
Divide both sides by 3;
We put into equation 2 to get;
