Donna sold 3 pencils and 8 pens solved using simultaneous equation

What is a simultaneous equation?

Simultaneous equation refers to related equations that are solved at the same to derive answers to the unknown variables

Let assume that X pencils were sold and Y pens were sold

The total revenue is the sum of the prices multiplied by the quantities sold.

2X+3Y=30   (equation 1)

The sum of X and Y sold is 11

X+Y=11   (equation 2)

multiply the second equation by 2

2*(X+Y=11)

2X+2Y=22 (equation 3)

subtract equation 3 from 1

(2X+3Y=30)-(2X+2Y=22)

Y=8

Substitute for Y in equation 2

X+8=11

X=11-8

X=3

Which means he sold 3 pencils and 8 pens.

Sally and Karl work at different jobs. Sally earns $7 per hour and Karl earns $5 per hour. They each earn the same amount per we
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Karl works 7 hours a week

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine total amount that Sally earns

Total amount Sally earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked(h)

where;

Rate per hour=$7 per hour

Number of hours worked=h

Replacing;

Total amount Sally earns=(7×h)=7 h

Step 2: Determine total amount Karl earns

Total amount Karl earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked

where;

rate per hour=$5

number of hours worked=2 more than Sally=h+2

replacing;

Total amount Karl earns=5(h+2)

Step 3: Equate Sally's total earnings to Karl's total earnings and solve for h

7 h=5(h+2)

7 h=5 h+10

7 h-5 h=10

2 h=10

h=10/2

h=5

Karl works (h+2) hours=(5+2)= 7 hours

Karl works 7 hours a week
