2.25k - 20 = 6.5k + 14 please help me solve this step by step asap!

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

k= -8

Explaining:

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign.

2.25k - 6.5k - 20= 6.5k - 6.5k + 14

Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression.

2.25k - 6.5k - 20= 14

Collect like terms!

-4.25k = 14 + 20

Add the numbers

-4.25k = 35

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.25

So you will get the answer: k= -8

A local sorority sold hot dogs and bratwursts at the spring fling picnics. The first day they sold 8 dozen hot dogs and 13 dozen

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

1 hot dog costs $0.75

1 bratwurst costs $1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the price per dozen of hot dogs and bratwursts respectively.

The first day they sold 8 dozen hot dogs and 13 dozen bratwursts for $282.60

8x + 13y = 282.60

The second day they sold 10 dozen hot dogs and 15 dozen bratwursts for a total of $333.00

10x + 15y = 333

and we have the linear system

8x + 13y = 282.60

10x + 15y = 333

which can be written in matrix form as

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)$

The solution would be given by

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)^{-1}\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)$

We have

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)^{-1}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-3/2&13/10\\1&-4/5\end{array}\right)$

hence

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-3/2&13/10\\1&-4/5\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}9\\ 16.2\end{array}\right)$
