Answer:
{x=2,y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1:
Multiply both sides of the equation by a coefficient
{ 4(2x-y)=2*4
-5x+4y=-2
Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law
{8x-4y=2*4,-5x+4y=-2
8x-4y+(-5x+4y)=8+(-2)
Remove parentheses
8x-4y-5x+4y=8-2
Cancel one variable
8x-5x=8-2
Combine like terms
3x=8-2
Calculate the sum or difference
3x=6
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable
x=6/3
Calculate the product or quotient
x=2
Equation two:
{-5+4y=-2, x=2
-5*2+4y=-2
Calculate the product or quotient
-10+4y =-2
Reduce the greatest common factor (GCF) on both sides of the equation
-5+2y=-1
Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation
2y=-1+5
Calculate the sum or difference
2y=4
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable
y=4/2
y=2
Hope this helps!!
3x+(x-2)=10
4x=12
x=12/4=3
y=x-2=3-2=1
so, x=3 and y=1
Answer: (3;1)
Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let slice of pizza cost x and a 12-ounce cola cost y.
Then Sara's order cost: 2x+y=3
and Sydney's order cost: 3x+2y=4.75
From the first equation we have: y=3-2x and put this to the second equation:
3x+2(3-2x)=4.75
3x+6-4x=4.75
x=1.25
y=3-1.25*2=0.50
Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.
