For the answer to the two questions above,
3x + 2y = 36.50 (I)
2x + 5y = 50 (II)
Eliminating x from the two equations by subtraction:
first we multiply equation I by 2 and equation II by 3
6x + 4y = 73
6x + 15y = 150
Subtracting the two,
-11y = -77
y = 7
He earns $7 at the coffee cart
Substituting y into equation I,
3x + 14 = 36.5
x = $7.50
So we can conclude that, he earns a greater wage of $7.50 at the library,
Answer:
c x ≤ 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x ≤ 12
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 ≤ 12/2
x ≤ 6

Answer:
John is 17,
Susan is 14,
and Khalid is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = John's age
b = Susan's age
c = Khalid's age
Let's set our rules from the given information.
a = b + 3
c = b - 5
a + b + c = 40
Now, we can solve for b through substitution.
(b + 3) + b + (b - 5) = 40
3b - 2 = 40
3b = 42
b = 14
So, now that we have Susan's age, we can follow the rules and see if it holds.
17 + 14 + 9 = 40 Viola!
It should be 54 because you half to divide 162 by 3
