To determine which system of equations is satisfied by the point (4, -3), we substitute \( x = 4 \) and \( y = -3 \) into each system.
Let's evaluate each option:
**Option a:**
1. \( 7x - 9y = 55 \)
\( 7(4) - 9(-3) = 28 + 27 = 55 \) (True)
2. \( 3x + 9y = -15 \)
\( 3(4) + 9(-3) = 12 - 27 = -15 \) (True)
Both equations are satisfied, so option (a) is a solution.
**Option b:**
1. \( 7x + 9y = 55 \)
\( 7(4) + 9(-3) = 28 - 27 = 1 \) (False)
2. \( 3x - 9y = -15 \)
\( 3(4) - 9(-3) = 12 + 27 = 39 \) (False)
Both equations are not satisfied.
**Option c:**
1. \( 7x + 9y = 55 \)
\( 7(4) + 9(-3) = 28 - 27 = 1 \) (False)
2. \( 3x + 9y = -15 \)
\( 3(4) + 9(-3) = 12 - 27 = -15 \) (True)
One equation is not satisfied.
**Option d:**
1. \( 7x - 9y = 55 \)
\( 7(4) - 9(-3) = 28 + 27 = 55 \) (True)
2. \( 3x + 9y = -15 \)
\( 3(4) + 9(-3) = 12 - 27 = -15 \) (True)
Both equations are satisfied, so option (d) is also a solution.
Thus, (4, -3) is the correct solution for both **Option a** and **Option d**. If you are looking for a single option that is correct based on typical conventions, you would choose:
**Answer: a. 7x - 9y = 55; 3x + 9y = -15**.

To solve the system of equations given:
1. \(-5x + 4y = 48\)
2. \(-5x - 8y = 24\)
We can use the method of elimination or substitution. Let's use elimination here.
First, we can align the equations:
1. \(-5x + 4y = 48\) (Equation 1)
2. \(-5x - 8y = 24\) (Equation 2)
We can eliminate \(x\) by subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1:
\[
(-5x + 4y) - (-5x - 8y) = 48 - 24
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4y + 8y = 24
\]
Combining the terms gives:
\[
12y = 24
\]
Now, solve for \(y\):
\[
y = \frac{24}{12} = 2
\]
Now that we have \(y\), we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find \(x\). We'll use Equation 1:
\[
-5x + 4(2) = 48
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-5x + 8 = 48
\]
Now, isolate \(x\):
\[
-5x = 48 - 8
\]
\[
-5x = 40
\]
\[
x = \frac{40}{-5} = -8
\]
So, the solution to the system is:
\[
(x, y) = (-8, 2)
\]
Thus, the answer is:
**b. (-8, 2)**.

To solve the system of equations given:
1. \(8x - 4y = -28\)
2. \(2x - 6y = 8\)
We can use either the substitution method or the elimination method. I'll use the elimination method here.
### Step 1: Simplifying the First Equation
We can simplify the first equation by dividing everything by 4:
\[
2x - y = -7 \quad \text{(Equation 1)}
\]
### Step 2: Keeping the Second Equation the Same
The second equation remains:
\[
2x - 6y = 8 \quad \text{(Equation 2)}
\]
### Step 3: Elimination of \(x\)
We can eliminate \(x\) by subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2.
First, manipulation should look like this:
1. Let’s align the equations:
\[
2x - y = -7
\]
\[
2x - 6y = 8
\]
2. Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2:
\[
(2x - 6y) - (2x - y) = 8 - (-7)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-6y + y = 8 + 7
\]
Combining the terms gives:
\[
-5y = 15
\]
### Step 4: Solve for \(y\)
\[
y = \frac{15}{-5} = -3
\]
### Step 5: Substitute \(y\) Back to Find \(x\)
Now that we have \(y = -3\), substitute it back into Equation 1 to find \(x\):
\[
2x - (-3) = -7
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x + 3 = -7
\]
Now isolate \(x\):
\[
2x = -7 - 3
\]
\[
2x = -10
\]
\[
x = \frac{-10}{2} = -5
\]
### Final Solution
So the solution to the system is:
\[
(x, y) = (-5, -3)
\]
Thus, the correct answer is:
**d. (-5, -3)**.
1. \(8x - 4y = -28\)
2. \(2x - 6y = 8\)
We can use either the substitution method or the elimination method. I'll use the elimination method here.

Answered by
GPT-4o mini
To determine which charter company the group should choose, we need to calculate the total cost for both Maritime Voyage and Catamaran Command when there are 10 customers.
### For Maritime Voyage:
- Rental fee: $250
- Cost per person: $25
- Total number of customers: 10
The total cost for Maritime Voyage is calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Rental Fee} + (\text{Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of Customers})
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 250 + (25 \times 10) = 250 + 250 = 500
\]
### For Catamaran Command:
- Rental fee: $75
- Cost per person: $50
- Total number of customers: 10
The total cost for Catamaran Command is calculated as:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Rental Fee} + (\text{Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of Customers})
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 75 + (50 \times 10) = 75 + 500 = 575
\]
### Conclusion:
- Total cost for Maritime Voyage: **$500**
- Total cost for Catamaran Command: **$575**
Since **$500 < $575**, the group should choose **Maritime Voyage**.
### Analyzing the Options:
Now let's look at the options to determine which one is the correct choice based on this analysis.
**Answer:**
**a. Maritime Voyage; choose this charter for less than 13 customers.**
This option is correct because Maritime Voyage is cheaper for the group of 10 customers, and increasing the number of customers beyond 13 would continue favoring Maritime Voyage due to its lower base fee compared to Catamaran Command.
### For Maritime Voyage:
- Rental fee: $250
- Cost per person: $25
- Total number of customers: 10
The total cost for Maritime Voyage is calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Rental Fee} + (\text{Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of Customers})
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 250 + (25 \times 10) = 250 + 250 = 500
\]
### For Catamaran Command:
- Rental fee: $75
- Cost per person: $50
- Total number of customers: 10
The total cost for Catamaran Command is calculated as:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Rental Fee} + (\text{Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of Customers})
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 75 + (50 \times 10) = 75 + 500 = 575
\]
### Conclusion:
- Total cost for Maritime Voyage: **$500**
- Total cost for Catamaran Command: **$575**
Since **$500 < $575**, the group should choose **Maritime Voyage**.
### Analyzing the Options:
Now let's look at the options to determine which one is the correct choice based on this analysis.
**Answer:**
**a. Maritime Voyage; choose this charter for less than 13 customers.**
This option is correct because Maritime Voyage is cheaper for the group of 10 customers, and increasing the number of customers beyond 13 would continue favoring Maritime Voyage due to its lower base fee compared to Catamaran Command.
