Answer:

(8,14)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=52

3x+1y=38 Subtract these equations using elimination method to get y=14

Then substitute y=14 to either equation

the bottom one is easier so

3x+1(14)=38 distribute 1 to 14 and any number times one is 1

3x+14=38 Subtract 14 from both sides

3x=24 Divide by 3

x=8 so check now

3(8)+1(14)=38

24+14=38?

38=38? yes

First, to make the equation easier to read, you want to add the x’s together. you should then get 2.6x-3.8=-9. then, you want to add the 3.8 to both sides, to make the x stand alone. you should end up with 2.6x=-5.2. to find x, you then want to divide both sides by 2.6. your final answer after dividing should be x=-2

Answer:

$6.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make three 9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

1 cup = 16 table spoon of juice

half a cup = 8 table spoon of juice

1 pie require half a cup of lemon juice. so 1 pie requires 8 tablespoon of lemon juice

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice

2 times 4 = 8

So 4 lemon needed to make a pie

cost of 1 lemon = 0.56

cost of 4 lemons = $0.56 \cdot 4=2.24$
