A method of solving a system of equations in which you obtain opposites to cancal one of the variables and solve for the other variable

Ahome improvement store rents it’s delivery truck for $19 for the first 75 minutes and $4.75 for each additional 1/4 hour. if a customer rented the truck at 11: 10 am and returned the truck at 1: 40 pm the same day, what would his rental cost be?

The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the amount present initially. the mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance cobalt-60 present in a sample at time t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. how does the exponential equation above compare to the equation for simple interest that is compounded continuously? explain the similarities. 2. what is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample? 2. how much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? show your work. 3. what would be the y-intercept of the graph? what does it represent? 4. after how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25 mg? explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years? 5. discuss some “real-world” examples and uses of cobalt-60

What are the solutions of the system? solve by graphing. y = -x^2 -6x - 7 y = 2
