Answer:

(17,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1.

x=5y+2

Equation 2.

x-4y=5

To solve with substitution, it looks like the x-variable in the first equation is already isolated. So, plug the first equation into the x-variable in the second equation.

x-4y=5

(5y+2)-4y=5

y+2=5

y=3

Now that we found y, plug y into one of the equations to solve for x.

x=5y+2

x=5(3)+2

x=15+2

x=17

Answer:

(C) 220

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold and y represent the number of student tickets sold. With the information given, we can set up two equations:

$x+y=360$

$5x+3y=1360$ (Since for every adult ticket sold, $5 is made and for every student ticket sold, $3 is made)

In the first equation, we can represent x in terms of y:

$x=360-y$

And then, we can substitute x in the second equation for 360 - y to get:

$5(360-y)+3y=1360$ which simplifies to:

$1800-2y=1360$ and therefore, $y=220$ .

Hope this helps :)

You plan to go skiing this weekend in Tennessee. The ski resort charges $18.50 per hour in addition to a $100 deposit to rent sk

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Part a) $y=18.50x+100$

Part b) The total cost is $\$220.25$

Part c) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a linear equation to represent this situation

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total cost in dollars

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or the unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

$m=\$18.50\ per\ hour$

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

$b=\$100$

substitute

$y=18.50x+100$

Part b) Use the equation to find the total cost to rent skis from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm

Remember that

3:00 pm=15:00

so

from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the total hours is equal to

15:00 -8:30=6:30=6.5 h

For x=6.5 h

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=18.50(6.5)+100\\y=\$220.25$

Part c) What does your answer mean in context of the problem?

we have that

y=220.25

That means -----> The total cost to rent skis for 6.5 hours is equal to $220.25
