Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting x=4 into the equation gives a 2-step linear equation in y. It is solved by isolating the variable and making its coefficient be 1.
__
<h3>use x=4</h3>
When x=4, the equation becomes ...
-3x +9y = -57
-3(4) +9y = -57
-12 +9y = -57
<h3>solve 2-step equation</h3>
The <u>first step</u> is to "isolate" the variable term (9y) by adding the opposite of the constant that is on the same side of the equation. The result is that the variable term is by itself on one side of the equal sign.
-12 +12 +9y = -57 +12 . . . . . add the opposite of -12
9y = -45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
The <u>second step</u> is to make the coefficient of y be 1. We do that by multiplying by its inverse, 1/9. Equivalently, we divide by 9.
(1/9)(9y) = (1/9)(-45) . . . . multiply by the inverse of 9
y = -5 . . . . . . simplify
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
For the sake of the problem, let's make female workers "x" and male workers "y".
x+y<40 This equation shows that the total number of workers has a max of 40.
30x+20y<1,000 This equation shows that the total cost the manager pays ($30 to each woman, $20 to each man) has a max of $1,000.
Now you can solve for x and y.
X+y<40
-y -y
X<-y+40
Substitute -y+40 in for X in the second equation
30(-y+40)+20y<1,000
-30y+1200+20y<1,000 Distribute
-10y+1,200<1,000 Combine like terms
-10y<-200 Subtract 1,200
y>20 Divide by -10; flip the sign
Since y>20, and y=male workers, you now know that the minimum
number of male workers he should send is 20
Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, if he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys, Nathan will get 9 sweets.
<h3>How many sweets does Nathan gets?</h3>
Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys.
Let the sweet be represented by x
For each x sweet for Yasmin, Nathan gets 3x sweets
Hence
x + 3x = 12
We solve for x
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
Hence;
Yasmin gets x sweet = 3
Nathan gets 3x sweets = 3 × 3 = 9
Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, if he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys, Nathan will get 9 sweets.
