Answer: x=3, y=4/5 or 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x and y, you can use elimination.

8x+5y=28

4x+5y=16

In both equations, there is a 5y. This way, we can cancel them out by subtracting the 2 equations.

4x=12

x=3

Now that we know x, we can plug it back into either equation to find y.

8(3)+5y=28

24+5y=28

5y=4

y=4/5=0.8

Answer:

x=3, y=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=28

4x+5y=16

Subtract the second simultaneous equation from the first.

You are left with: 4x=12

12/4=3

x=3

Substitute this back into one of the equations.

8(3)+5y=28

8*3=24

28-24=4

4=5y

4/5=0.8

y=0.8

Susan is looking to hire a cleaning company to clean her house every week. One cleaning company's cost can be calculated by the

kirill [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If one cleaning company's cost can be calculated by the expression 75 + 50x, where x is the amount of hours they spend cleaning and another cleaning company's cost can be calculated using the expression 50 + 75x, then to calculate how long each company will have to clean to cost the same amount, we will equate both expression of the company cost and solve for x as shown;

On equating:

75 + 50x, = 75x + 50

collect like terms'

50x-75x = 50-75

-25x = -25

divide both sides by -25

-25x/-25 = -25/-25

x = 1

hence the number of hours each company will have to clean to cost the same amount is 1 hour
