The system of equations -5x + 2y = 9 and y = 7x is solved using substitution, yielding the solution x = 1 and y = 7.
To solve the system of equations -5x + 2y = 9 and y = 7x, we can use substitution since the second equation gives us 'y' in terms of 'x' directly. We substitute 7x in for y in the first equation:
-5x + 2(7x) = 9
-5x + 14x = 9
9x = 9
x = 1
Now that we have the value for x, we can find y using the second equation:
y = 7(1)
y = 7
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = 7.

1 - A string is cut into three pieces in the ratio 5 : 4 : 2. If the longest piece of string is 87 cm longer than the shortest piece of string, find the length of the string before it is being cut.
=
2- A bookstore sold fiction books, textbooks and workbooks last month in the ratio 6 : 5 : 9 respectively. If the store sold 1350 workbooks, what was the total number of fiction books and textbooks sold that month??
=
Final answer:
The total length of the string before being cut was 319 cm. The bookstore, given the ratio of 6:5:9 for fiction books, textbooks, and workbooks, sold a total of 1650 fiction books and textbooks in a month.
Explanation:
Answer to String Ratio Problem
Let's represent the length of the longest piece of string as 5x, the medium piece as 4x, and the shortest piece as 2x, based on the given ratio 5:4:2. According to the problem, the longest piece is 87 cm longer than the shortest piece. Thus, we have:
5x - 2x = 87 cm
3x = 87 cm
x = 29 cm
Now, to find the total length of the string before cutting, we add up all the pieces:
Total length = 5x + 4x + 2x = 11x = 11(29 cm) = 319 cm
So, the string was 319 cm long before it was cut.
Answer to Bookstore Ratio Problem
In the bookstore problem, we're given the ratio of fiction books, textbooks, and workbooks sold as 6:5:9, respectively, and that 1350 workbooks were sold. If we denote the common ratio multiplier as y, we can represent the amounts of each as follows:
Fiction books = 6y, Textbooks = 5y, Workbooks = 9y = 1350
To find y, we solve 9y = 1350:
y = 150
Now, we can calculate the total number of fiction books and textbooks sold:
Fiction books = 6y = 6(150) = 900
Textbooks = 5y = 5(150) = 750
Total fiction books and textbooks = 900 + 750 = 1650
The bookstore sold a total of 1650 fiction books and textbooks.
Which of the following has the least value?
If you invest $3,900 at a 7.83% simple annual interest rate, approximately how long will it take for you to have a total of $10,000?
a.
12 years
b.
15 years
c.
20 years
d.
30 years
we know that
The simple interest formula is equal to
[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]
where
A is the Final Investment Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest
t is Number of Time Periods
in this problem we have
[tex]t=?\ years\\ P=\$3,900\\ A=\$10,000\\r=0.0783[/tex]
substitute in the formula above
[tex]10,000=3,900(1+0.0783t)[/tex]
Solve for t
[tex]10,000/3,900=(1+0.0783t)[/tex]
[tex](10,000/3,900)-1=0.0783t[/tex]
[tex]0.0783t=1.5641[/tex]
[tex]t=1.5641/0.0783[/tex]
[tex]t=19.98\ years[/tex]
therefore
the answer is the option C
[tex]20\ years[/tex]

After a 20% increase the new price of radio is $78.00. What was the original price of the radio
A store increases the price of a sweater from $20 to $22.
What is the percent of increase?
Answer:
The percent increase is [tex]\(10\%\).[/tex]
Explanation:
To find the percent increase, we use the formula:
[tex]\[\text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{22 - 20}{20} \right) \times 100\%\][/tex]
Given:
- Original price = $20
- New price = $22
Substitute these values into the formula:
[tex]\[\text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{22 - 20}{20} \right) \times 100\%\][/tex]
[tex]\[\text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{2}{20} \right) \times 100\%\][/tex]
[tex]\[\text{Percent Increase} = \left( 0.1 \right) \times 100\%\][/tex]
[tex]\[\text{Percent Increase} = 10\%\][/tex]
So, the percent increase is [tex]\(10\%\).[/tex]

What is an equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (2, 5) and (3, 0) ?
Answer: x + 5y - 15 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we find the slope
Given : x₁ = 2 y₁= 5 x₂= 3 y₂=0
m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁
m = 0-5 / 3-2
m = -5 / 1 = -5
equation of a straight line;
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - 5 = -5(x - 2)
y - 5 = -5x + 10
y + 5x - 15 = 0

how do you solve p= 6s solve for s
The expression can be written in terms of p after making the subject as s the expression is s = p/6.
What is an expression?It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.
It is given that:
The expression is:
p = 6s
To solve the above expression in terms of p make the subject as s
As we know, the arithmetic operation can be defined as the operation in which we do the addition of numbers, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It has a basic four operators that is +, -, ×, and ÷.
Divide by 6 on both sides:
p/6 = 6s/6
p/6 = s
Or
s = p/6
Thus, the expression can be written in terms of p after making the subject as s the expression is s = p/6.
