Probably the subsitution method
y=1/2x
subsitute that fr y
2x+3(1/2x)=28
2x+3/2x=28
times 2 both sides
4x+3x=56
7x=56
divide by 7 both sides
x=8
sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(8)
y=4
(x,y)
(8,4)
X-3y=-5
-(x+3y=1)
-------------
-6y=-6
y=1
x=-2
You already have the rates, what you need to find out now is the unit rates. To do this, you simply take first number (eg.420) to divide by the second number (eg. 7).
a.60 miles per hour
b. 12 customers per day
c. 2.5 meters in 1 pound
d. $1.592 for 1 ound
Answer: $450
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount borrowed = $450
Amount charged per lawn = $35
Operating cost per lawn = $8
Jimmy's cost (C(x)) :
Amount borrowed + operating cost
If x lawns are mowed :
$450 + $8 per lawn
$450 + $8x
C(x) = 450 + 8x
Intercept (value of y when x = 0
Value of C(x) ; when x = 0
C(x) = 450 + 8(0)
C(x) = 450 + 0
C(x) = 450
