First let's get rid of the x by multiplying the tip equation by -2

-2 (-6x - 2y = -4)
+
(-12x - 5y = -13)

Distribute

(12x + 4y = 8)
+
(-12x - 5y = -13)

x cancels out and you're left with

-1y = -5
y = 5

Now solving for x, plug in your y into one of the equations

-6x - 2(5) = -4
-6x - 10 = -4
-6x = 6
x = -1

(-1 , 5) is the solution

Answer:

Haircuts cost $50.33

Hair Color costs $80.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let haircut be cost "a"

coloring be cost "b"

2 haircut, 4 coloring equals 422, we can write:

2a + 4b = 422 {Equation 1}

5 haircut, 4 coloring, equals 573, we can write:

5a + 4b = 573 {Equation 2}

We now multiply equation 1 with -1 and add it with Equation 2 to get:

-1(2a + 4b = 422) = -2a - 4b = -422

Now,

-2a - 4b = -422

5a + 4b = 573

----------------------

3a = 151

a = 151/3 = $50.33

Now, to find b, we plug in this value into any equation and solve for b:

2a + 4b = 422

2(50.33) + 4b = 422

4b = 422 - 100.66

b = $80.33

Haircuts cost $50.33

Hair Color costs $80.33

Why is a sample of 1000 people better than a sample of 100 people?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The more people the more results you can factor into a situation. Like testing if you tested 100 there might be a low number of people testing positive but 1000 would be better as you'd have more tested positive and more info to look at if maybe a disease if gene related.
