You can put this solution on YOUR website!


Start with the given system of equations:

system%28x%2By=38%2C175000x%2B200000y=7200000%29



Now in order to solve this system by using elimination/addition, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y.





In order to solve for one variable, we must eliminate the other variable. So if we wanted to solve for y, we would have to eliminate x (or vice versa).


So lets eliminate x. In order to do that, we need to have both x coefficients that are equal in magnitude but have opposite signs (for instance 2 and -2 are equal in magnitude but have opposite signs). This way they will add to zero. By adding to zero, they can be eliminated.



So to make the x coefficients equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, we need to multiply both x coefficients by some number to get them to an common number. So if we wanted to get 1 and 175000 to some equal number, we could try to get them to the LCM.



Since the LCM of 1 and 175000 is 175000, we need to multiply both sides of the top equation by 175000 and multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -1 like this:




175000%28x%2By%29=175000%2838%29 Multiply the top equation (both sides) by 175000
-1%28175000x%2B200000y%29=-1%287200000%29 Multiply the bottom equation (both sides) by -1




Distribute and multiply

175000x%2B175000y=6650000
-175000x-200000y=-7200000


Now add the equations together. In order to add 2 equations, group like terms and combine them

%28175000x-175000x%29%2B%28175000y-200000y%29=6650000-7200000

Combine like terms and simplify



cross%28175000x-175000x%29-25000y=-550000 Notice how the x terms cancel out




-25000y=-550000 Simplify




y=-550000%2F-25000 Divide both sides by -25000 to isolate y




y=22 Reduce



Now plug this answer into the top equation x%2By=38 to solve for x

x%2By=38 Start with the first equation



x%2B%2822%29=38 Plug in y=22




x%2B22=38 Multiply



x=38-22Subtract 22 from both sides


x=16 Combine like terms on the right side




So our answers are
x=16 and y=22

Let's solve %284x-7%29%2F8%3C=-5


%284x-7%29%2F8%3C=-5 Start with the first inequality.


4x-7%3C=8%28-5%29 Multiply both sides by 8.


4x-7%3C=-40 Multiply.


4x%3C=-40%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


4x%3C=-33 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%28-33%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


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

Answer:

So our first answer is x%3C=-33%2F4


Which approximates to x%3C=-8.25





========================================================================



Now let's solve %284x-7%29%2F8%3E=2


%284x-7%29%2F8%3E=2 Start with the given inequality.


4x-7%3E=8%282%29 Multiply both sides by 8.


4x-7%3E=16 Distribute and multiply.


4x%3E=16%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


4x%3E=23 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E=%2823%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


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

Answer:

So our second answer is x%3E=23%2F4


Which approximates to x%3E=5.75





----------------------------- Summary -----------------------------



So the final answer is

x%3C=-33%2F4 OR x%3E=23%2F4


which is approximately


x%3C=-8.25 OR x%3E=5.75

Let x= number of beats per minute


Since the number of beats per minute (bpm) should be within 137 and 156 , this means that we have the given inequality


137%3C+x+%3C156


But since we only want to know the bpm in 10 seconds, we need to divide everything by 6 (since 60%2F6=10)


137%2F6%3C+x+%2F6%3C156%2F6


22.833%3C+x+%2F6%3C26 Simplify





So in 10 seconds, she should be between 23 and 26 bpm

y%3E6x Start with the 1st inequality

Now lets pick a test point, say (0,1). Any point will work, (just make sure the point doesn't lie on the line) but this point is the easiest to work with. Now evaluate the inequality -6x%2By%3E0 with the test point

Substitute (0,1) into the inequality

"For what amount of medical bills will plan B save Giselle money?"

Let x=amount of the bill

Under plan A, the expression is

50%2B0.25%28x-50%29


Under plan B, the expression is

230%2B0.20%28x-230%29



So to figure out when plan B will save her money, simply set the plan B expression less than the plan A expression


Plan_B%3CPlan_A


230%2B0.20%28x-230%29%3C50%2B0.25%28x-50%29


230%2B0.20x-46%3C50%2B0.25x-12.5 Distribute


184%2B0.20x%3C37.5%2B0.25x Combine like terms


0.20x-0.25x%3C37.5-184 Subtract 0.25x from both sides. Subtract 184 from both sides.


-0.05x%3C-146.5 Combine like terms


x%3E2930 Divide both sides by 0.45


So if she has any bills over $2,930, then Plan B will cost less than Plan A.




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


"Suppose Giselle has a certain amount in medical bills, such as $5000. How much would she pay under each plan?"

50%2B0.25%28x-50%29 Start with the Plan A expression


50%2B0.25%2A%285000-50%29 Plug in x=5000


50%2B0.25%2A4950 Subtract 50 from 5000 to get 4950.


50%2B1237.5 Multiply 0.25 and 4950 to get 1237.5.


1287.5 Add 50 and 1237.5 to get 1287.5.



So under Plan A, she will pay $1,287.50



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



230%2B0.20%28x-230%29 Start with the Plan B expression



230%2B0.20%2A%285000-230%29 Plug in x=5000


230%2B0.20%2A4770 Subtract 230 from 5000 to get 4770.


230%2B0954 Multiply 0.20 and 4770 to get 954.


1184 Add 230 and 954 to get 1184.



So under Plan B, she will pay $1,184.00

"What is his approximate body mass index?"


I=700%2Aw%2Fh%5E2 Start with the given equation.


I=700%2A168%2F%2868%29%5E2 Plug in w=168 and h=68


I=117600%2F%2868%29%5E2 Multiply 700 and 168 to get 117600.


I=117600%2F4624 Square 68 to get 4624.


I=25.4325 Divide.


So his approximate body mass index is about 25.43



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

"Find an inequality describing all weights w that Francis can have and be in the low-risk catergory."


I=700%2Aw%2Fh%5E2 Start with the given equation.


I=700%2Aw%2F%2868%29%5E2 Plug in h=68


700%2Aw%2F%2868%29%5E2%3C25 Set the left side less than 25.


700%2Aw%2F4624%3C25 Square 68 to get 4624.


700%2Aw%3C115600 Multiply both sides by 4624.


w%3C165.14286 Divide both sides by 700 to isolate w.


So any weights less than 165 pounds will put him in the low-risk category.

Looking at 7x%5E2%2B58x%2B16 we can see that the first term is 7x%5E2 and the last term is 16 where the coefficients are 7 and 16 respectively.

Now multiply the first coefficient 7 and the last coefficient 16 to get 112. Now what two numbers multiply to 112 and add to the middle coefficient 58? Let's list all of the factors of 112:



Factors of 112:
1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,56,112

-1,-2,-4,-7,-8,-14,-16,-28,-56,-112 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations

These factors pair up and multiply to 112
1*112
2*56
4*28
7*16
8*14
(-1)*(-112)
(-2)*(-56)
(-4)*(-28)
(-7)*(-16)
(-8)*(-14)

note: remember two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number


Now which of these pairs add to 58? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to 58

First NumberSecond NumberSum
11121+112=113
2562+56=58
4284+28=32
7167+16=23
8148+14=22
-1-112-1+(-112)=-113
-2-56-2+(-56)=-58
-4-28-4+(-28)=-32
-7-16-7+(-16)=-23
-8-14-8+(-14)=-22



From this list we can see that 2 and 56 add up to 58 and multiply to 112


Now looking at the expression 7x%5E2%2B58x%2B16, replace 58x with 2x%2B56x (notice 2x%2B56x adds up to 58x. So it is equivalent to 58x)

7x%5E2%2Bhighlight%282x%2B56x%29%2B16


Now let's factor 7x%5E2%2B2x%2B56x%2B16 by grouping:


%287x%5E2%2B2x%29%2B%2856x%2B16%29 Group like terms


x%287x%2B2%29%2B8%287x%2B2%29 Factor out the GCF of x out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of 8 out of the second group


%28x%2B8%29%287x%2B2%29 Since we have a common term of 7x%2B2, we can combine like terms

So 7x%5E2%2B2x%2B56x%2B16 factors to %28x%2B8%29%287x%2B2%29


So this also means that 7x%5E2%2B58x%2B16 factors to %28x%2B8%29%287x%2B2%29 (since 7x%5E2%2B58x%2B16 is equivalent to 7x%5E2%2B2x%2B56x%2B16)

Looking at x%5E2%2B9x%2B8 we can see that the first term is x%5E2 and the last term is 8 where the coefficients are 1 and 8 respectively.

Now multiply the first coefficient 1 and the last coefficient 8 to get 8. Now what two numbers multiply to 8 and add to the middle coefficient 9? Let's list all of the factors of 8:



Factors of 8:
1,2,4,8

-1,-2,-4,-8 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations

These factors pair up and multiply to 8
1*8
2*4
(-1)*(-8)
(-2)*(-4)

note: remember two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number


Now which of these pairs add to 9? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to 9

First NumberSecond NumberSum
181+8=9
242+4=6
-1-8-1+(-8)=-9
-2-4-2+(-4)=-6



From this list we can see that 1 and 8 add up to 9 and multiply to 8


Now looking at the expression x%5E2%2B9x%2B8, replace 9x with x%2B8x (notice x%2B8x adds up to 9x. So it is equivalent to 9x)

x%5E2%2Bhighlight%28x%2B8x%29%2B8


Now let's factor x%5E2%2Bx%2B8x%2B8 by grouping:


%28x%5E2%2Bx%29%2B%288x%2B8%29 Group like terms


x%28x%2B1%29%2B8%28x%2B1%29 Factor out the GCF of x out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of 8 out of the second group


%28x%2B8%29%28x%2B1%29 Since we have a common term of x%2B1, we can combine like terms

So x%5E2%2Bx%2B8x%2B8 factors to %28x%2B8%29%28x%2B1%29


So this also means that x%5E2%2B9x%2B8 factors to %28x%2B8%29%28x%2B1%29 (since x%5E2%2B9x%2B8 is equivalent to x%5E2%2Bx%2B8x%2B8)


-------------------------------
Answer:

So x%5E2%2B9x%2B8 factors to %28x%2B8%29%28x%2B1%29

x%5E3-2x%5E2%2B7x-14 Start with the given expression

%28x%5E3-2x%5E2%29%2B%287x-14%29 Group like terms


x%5E2%28x-2%29%2B7%28x-2%29 Factor out the GCF x%5E2 out of the first group. Factor out the GCF 7 out of the second group


%28x%5E2%2B7%29%28x-2%29 Since we have the common term x-2, we can combine like terms

So x%5E3-2x%5E2%2B7x-14 factors to %28x%5E2%2B7%29%28x-2%29

%28r%5E2-5r%2B6%29%2F%28r%5E2-4%29 Start with the given expression.


%28%28r-2%29%2A%28r-3%29%29%2F%28r%5E2-4%29 Factor r%5E2-5r%2B6 to get %28r-2%29%2A%28r-3%29.


%28%28r-2%29%2A%28r-3%29%29%2F%28%28r-2%29%2A%28r%2B2%29%29 Factor r%5E2-4 to get %28r-2%29%2A%28r%2B2%29.


%28highlight%28r-2%29%28r-3%29%29%2F%28highlight%28r-2%29%28r%2B2%29%29 Highlight the common terms.


%28cross%28r-2%29%28r-3%29%29%2F%28cross%28r-2%29%28r%2B2%29%29 Cancel out the common terms.


%28r-3%29%2F%28r%2B2%29 Simplify.


So %28r%5E2-5r%2B6%29%2F%28r%5E2-4%29 simplifies to %28r-3%29%2F%28r%2B2%29.


In other words, %28r%5E2-5r%2B6%29%2F%28r%5E2-4%29=%28r-3%29%2F%28r%2B2%29 where r%3C%3E-2 or r%3C%3E2
