Solve this system of equations using the substitution method.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bingel [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 1.2

y = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y= -2x+9

2) 8x-3=y

Substitute y in equation 1 using y in equation 2.

8x - 3 = -2x + 9

+ 3 on both sides

8x = -2x + 12

+ 2x on both sides

10x = 12

x = 1.2

To find y, plug in x

8x - 3 = y

9.6 - 3 = y

6.6 = y

Hope this helps :)

Colby worked three more hours on tuesday than he did on monday. on wednesday, he worked one hour more than twice the number of h
bulgar [2K]
Monday = X
Tuesday = X + 3 (Problem says three more hours than he worked on Monday)
Wednesday = 2x + 1
(Problem says he worked 1 hour more than two times the number of hours on monday) 
This side of the equation would be - 
X + (X +3) + (2X + 1) 
That's monday plus tuesday plus wednesday. 
Then you would set up the other side of the equation. 
This would be the total number of hours so it would be equal to monday, tuesday and wednesday combined. 
2 + (5x) 
Two hours more than five times the amount of Monday (X) 

Now we put this together to have an equation 
X + (X + 3) + (2x+ 1) = 2 + 5x 
Now we need to collect like terms
4x + 4 = 2 + 5x 
I just simplified the left side of the equation
Now I will subtract 4x from the left side to get all the variables on one side 
4 = 2 + x 
Now I subtract 2 to get the numbers both on one side
2 = x 
So, Colby worked 2 hours on Monday.

What are the solutions to the following system of equations? Select the correct answer. y=x^2-4x+8 4x+y=12
lorasvet [3.4K]
Y=x^2-4x+8 and 4x+y=12 so y=12-4x, insert y in the quadratic to get
12-4x=x^2-4x+8
12=x^2+8
0=x^2-4=(x-2)(x+2)
So the solutions are x=2 and x=-2.

A publishing company claims that in fall 2019, the average price of college textbooks for a single semester is $385. Suppose you
hram777 [196]

Answer:

We accept H₀ . We don´t have enough evidence to express the publisher claim is not true

Step by Step explanation:

We must evaluate if the mean of the price of college textbooks is different from the value claimed by the publisher

n < 30 then we must use t - distrbution

degree of freedom   n  - 1     df = 22 - 1     df = 21

As the question mentions " different " that means,  a two-tail test

At 0,01 significance level     α  = 0,01       α/2  =  0,005

and t(c)  = 2,831

Test Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                      H₀          μ  =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis           Hₐ          μ  ≠  μ₀

To calculate t(s)

t(s)  =  (  μ  -  μ₀ ) /σ/√n

t(s)  =  (  433,50 - 385 ) / 86,92 / √22

t(s)  =  2,6171

Comparing   t(c)   and t(s)

t(s) < t(c)

Then  t(s) is in the acceptance region we accept H₀. We don´t have enough evidence to claim that mean price differs from publisher claim

Write an equation:You paid $14.75 for 4 ice cream cones that cost 2.50 each and two drumsticks that were d dollars each
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

d = (14.75 - (4 × 2.50) ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost of 1 drumstick = d

2.50×4=10.00

14.75-10.00=4.75

4.75÷2=2 3/8

2 3/8 = 2.375

A pair of jeans is on sale for 25% off the original price. Which expression represents the sale
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's 25% off, then to find the sale price we just need to subtract 25% of the original price from the original price.

Original price is 40 so we do 40 - (40 * 0.25) = 30
