What is the solution to this system of equations? x + 2 y = 4. 2 x minus 2 y = 5.

(x,y) = (5.8,-0.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  x + 2y = 4.2 - 2y = 5

2.) { x + 2y =5

    { 4.2 - 2y = 5

3.) { x + 2y = 5

    { y = -0.4

4.) x + 2x ( -4.0 ) = 5

5.) x= 5.8 ( a possible solution )

6.) ( x , y ) = ( 5.8 , -0.4 )  check to the solution

7.)  5.8 + 2 x ( -0.4 ) = 4.2 - 2 x ( -0.4 ) = 5

8.) 5 =5 =5

they would pay a total amount of $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott and Tom rent a boat at Stow Lake. They start at 10:15 and end at 11:45. The number of hours for which they rented the boat would be

11:45 - 10:15 = 1 hour 30 minutes = 1.5 hours.

Converting to minutes, It becomes

60 + 30 = 90 minutes.

The boat rental costs $1.50 for every 15 minutes. Therefore, the total amount of money that they would pay is

90/15 × 1.5 = $9
