bearing in mind that a solution to a system of equations is where their graph intersect or meets, Check the picture below.
Answer:
-12x - 14y
Step-by-step explanation:
First I would move them side by side so I can see it better so:
-7x - 5x - 8y - 6y
now combine the x values together and the y values together:
-12x - 14y
the first one is the answer to #1
and the second one is the answer to #2
Answer:
16/9
Step-by-step explanation:
(4/3) ^2
(4/3) * (4/3)
First the numerators
4*4 = 16
Then the denominators
3*3 = 9
Numerator over denominator
16/9
M = mangoes
a = apples
8m + 3a = 18 Equation 1
3m + 5a = 14.50 Equation 2
Lets multiply equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3
The new equations are:
45m + 15a = 90
9m + 15a = 43.5
Subtract them and get:
36m = 46.5
m = 1.30 Divide both sides by 36
Substitute m into equation 2 (either is fine, but choose the easier one)
3(1.30) + 5a = 14.5
3.9 + 5a = 14.6 Expand the bracket
5a = 10.6 Minus both sides by 3.9
a = 2.12 Divide both sides by 5
Mangoes cost $1.30
Apples cost $2.12 (more like $2.10)
I feel that my working out is wrong, but that is how you work out the answer.
