Jessica runs a shop that rents canoes and bicycles. Last week, she rented canoes and bicycles for a total of 140 hours. The rental cost for each canoe is $24 per hour, and the rental cost for each bicycle is $8 per hour. Jessica
earned a total of $1632 last week from renting canoes for x hours and bicycles for y hours.

Write two equations in terms of x and y to determine how many total hours she rented canoes

step-by-step explanation:

first one because it can't have a fraction in it

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

im guessing (23,14). hope this : )
