Answer:

x=-9, y=5. (-9, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3y=-24

5x+8y=-5

--------------

x=-24+3y

5(-24+3y)+8y=-5

-120+15y+8y=-5

-120+23y=-5

23y=-5-(-120)

23y=-5+120

23y=115

y=115/23

y=5

x-3(5)=-24

x-15=-24

x=-24+15

x=-9

This will be your formula:
$\frac{32}{800} = \frac{120}{x}$
cross multiply (32 times x) (120 times 800)
this is what you'll get:

A crew must repave a road that is 3/8 miles long. They can repave 1/48 miles per hour. How long will it take the crew to repave

Anika [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 miles long, 1/48 miles per hour

3/8 and 1/48 can have a common denominator, so you make 3/8 into 18/48 by multiplying both the numerator and denmoinator by 6.

18/48 miles long

1/48 per hour

divide: 18/48 divided by 1/48, which turns into 18/48 x 48/1 which equals 18

18 hours

The population of two different villages is modeled by the equations shown

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Year = 1995 and population = 315

Year = 2015 and population = 715

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the population of two different villages is modeled by the given equations:

$y=x^2-30x+540$

$y=20x+15$

The population of both villages are same after x years after 1980 if

$x^2-30x+540=20x+15$

$x^2-30x+540-20x-15=0$

$x^2-50x+525=0$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2-15x-35x+525=0$

$x(x-15)-35(x-15)=0$

$(x-15)(x-35)=0$

$x=15,35$

It means, after 15 or 35 years, the population will same.

For x=15, years is $1980+15=1995$ and population is

$y=20(15)+15=315$

For x=35, years is $1980+35=2015$ and population is

$y=20(35)+15=715$ .

Therefore, population are equation in Year = 1995 and population = 315 or Year = 2015 and population = 715.
