Get x on one side then you can use substitution
So, change x+3y=3 to x= -3y+3
Then plug in x to other equation to find y
2(-3y +3)-3y=-12
-6y + 6 -3y = -12
-9y = -18
Divide both sides by negative nine to find y
y = 2
Then plug in to original equation to find x
x + 3(2) = 3
x + 6 = 3
x = -3
So, y = 2 and x = -3
So there’s no actual question because you didn’t attach anything
Answer: it will take 5 months for both gyms to cost the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of months for which the total cost of gyms are the same.
Gym A charges a new member fee of $65 and $20 per month. This means that the cost of using gym A for x months would be
20x + 65
Gym B charges a new member fee of $25 and $35 per month but you get a discount of 20% monthly.
20% of 35 is 20/100 × 35 = 7
The monthly charge would be
35 - 7 = 28
This means that the cost of using gym A for x months would be
28x + 25
The number of months that it will take for the cost of both gyms to be the same would be
20x + 65 = 28x + 25
28x - 20x = 65 - 25
8x = 40
x = 40/8 = 5
Answer:
p = 7/2 or 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-4p + 9 = -5
-4p = -14 (subtracted 9 from both sides)
p = -14/-4 = 7/2
