An unknown number y is 10 more than an unknown number x. The number y is also x less than 3. The equations to find x and y are shown below. y = x + 10 y = −x + 3 Which of the following statements is a correct step to find x and y? (4 points) a Add the equations to eliminate x. b Multiply the equations to eliminate y. c Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x-axis. d Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y-axis.

Answer (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 10

y = −x + 3      It's easier to see what to do next if you first write these equations                  in a column.

Combining these equations, we get 2y = 13, so that y = 13/2.

Answer (a) is the best choice of the four possible answers.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
