Option D. 96 is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Let the higher grade be = x
Let the lower grade be = y
As given, The difference of the two grades is 16
or
.... (1)
The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52.
... (2)
Putting the value of x=16+y in equation (2)






As x=16+y
x=16+80 = 96
Hence, higher grade is 96.
Answer:
8/25
Step-by-step explanation:
So 32% is essentially 32/100 now we can divide that even more so now we have 16/50(we divided it in half) but we can divide that again, so now we have 8/25 :)
Answer: (9, 10800)
Step-by-step explanation:
We will first let x be the number of years and y be the total cost.
In that case, let's plug in the values for each into the equation <em>y=mx+b, </em>where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The y-intercept will be the <u>value we start with before any years pass</u>, so it will be the <u>installation cost</u>. The slope is <u>how fast the total cost will increase</u>. Since the <u>operation costs</u> have to be added on every year, it will be our slope.
With that in mind, let's create both of our equations:
- y = 900x + 2700 (Oil system)
- y = 200x + 9000 (Solar system)
Since y is solved for in the first equation, we can substitute it into the second equation:

<em>[Subtracting 200x from both sides]</em>
<em />
<em>[Subtracting 2700 from both sides]</em>
<em />
<em>[Dividing both sides by 700]</em>
<em />
We can now substitute 9 for x in any equation and solve for y. Here I substituted it into the first one:

<em>[Multiplying]</em>
<em />
<em>[Adding]</em>
Hence, the solution to this linear system is (9, 10800).
