Answer:

8x + 10y = 123.40

5x + 9y = 97.20

OR

40x + 50y = 617

-40x - 72y = -777.6

x = $6.30

y = $7.30

Step-by-step explanation:

we can write this system of equations:

8x + 10y = 123.40

5x + 9y = 97.20

using the 'elimination method', we can multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by -8 to get:

5(8x + 10y) = 123.4(5)

40x + 50y = 617

-8(5x + 9y) = 97.2(-8)

-40x - 72y = -777.6

now we can add the new equations and solve for 'y':

40x + 50y = 617

-40x - 72y = -777.6

-22y = -160.6

y = 7.30

now we can substitute 7.3 for 'y' so we can solve for 'x':

8x + 10(7.3) = 123.4

8x + 73 = 123.4

8x = 50.4

x = 6.30

Answer:

Equation 1:  8x + 10y = 123.4

Equation 2:  5x + 9y = 97.2

cost of a burrito = $7.30

cost of a sandwich = $6.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of a sandwich

Let y = cost of a burrito

Equation 1:  8x + 10y = 123.4

Equation 2:  5x + 9y = 97.2

Rewrite equation 1 to make y the subject, then substitute into equation 2 and solve for x:

8x + 10y = 123.4

⇒ 10y = 123.4 - 8x

⇒ y = 12.34 - 0.8x

5x + 9(12.34 - 0.8x) = 97.2

⇒ 5x + 111.06 - 7.2x = 97.2

⇒ 13.86 = 2.2x

⇒ x = 6.3

So cost of a sandwich = $6.30

Substituting x = 6.3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

5(6.3) + 9y = 97.2

⇒ 31.5 + 9y = 97.2

⇒ 9y = 65.7

⇒ y = 7.3

So cost of a burrito = $7.30

Write the equation in standard<br> form of the line that has<br> x-intercept 6 and y-intercept -2.
zysi [14]

Answer:

<em>x - 3y = 6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the line in intercept form</u>

The intercept form of the equation of a line is:

\displaystyle \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1

Where:

a = x-intercept

b = y-intercept

The standard form of a line is:

Ax + By = C

The given line has a=6 and b=-2, thus:

\displaystyle \frac{x}{6}+\frac{y}{-2}=1

Multiplying by 6:

x - 3y = 6

This is the required standard form of the line.

Thus, the standard form of the line is:

x - 3y = 6

The top and bottom margins of a poster 66 cm each, and the side margins are 44 cm each. If the area of the printed material on t
jasenka [17]

Answer:

  • width: 24 cm
  • height: 36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When margins are involved, the smallest area will be the one that has its dimensions in the same proportion as the margins. If x is the "multiplier", the dimensions of the printed area are ...

  (4x)(6x) = 384 cm^2

  x^2 = 16 cm^2 . . . . . divide by 24

  x = 4 cm

The printed area is 4x by 6x, so is 16 cm by 24 cm. With the margins added, the smallest poster will be ...

  24 cm by 36 cm

_____

<em>Comment on margins</em>

It should be obvious that if both side margins are 4 cm, then the width of the poster is 8 cm more than the printed width. Similarly, the 6 cm top and bottom margins make the height of the poster 12 cm more than the height of the printed area.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Let w represent the width of the printed area. Then the printed height is 384/w, and the total poster area is ...

  A = (w+8)(384/w +12) = 384 +12w +3072/w +96

Differentiating with respect to w gives ...

  A' = 12 -3072/w^2

Setting this to zero and solving for w gives ...

  w = √(3072/12) = 16 . . . . matches above solution.

__

<em>Generic solution</em>

If we let s and t represent the side and top margins, and we use "a" for the printed area, then the above equation becomes the symbolic equation ...

  A = (w +s)(a/w +t)

  A' = t - sa/w^2

For A' = 0, ...

  w = √(sa/t)

and the height is ...

  a/w = a/√(sa/t) = √(ta/s)

Then the ratio of width to height is ...

  w/(a/w) = w^2/a = (sa/t)/a

  width/height = s/t . . . . . . the premise we started with, above
