The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.
<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>
let
- cost of redwood = x
- cost of pine = y
50x + 70y = 280
100x + 60y = 440
Multiply (1) by 2
100x + 140y = 560
100x + 60y = 440
subtract to eliminate x
80y = 120
y = 120/80
y = $1.5
substitute y = 1.5 into (1)
50x + 70y = 280
50x + 70(1.5) = 280
50x + 105 = 280
50x = 280 - 105
50x = 175
x = 175 / 50
x = $3.5

Answer:
6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -3
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
in the given question :-
=》x - 4y = 1
=》x = 4y + 1
now replacing the value of x as ( 4y + 1 ) in equation (2)
=》3x + 2y = -11
=》3 (4y + 1) + 2y = -11
=》12y + 3 + 2y = -11
=》14y = -11 - 3
=》y = -14 ÷ 14
=》y = -1
now, putting the value of y in equation (1)
=》x - 4y = 1
=》x - ( 4 × -1 ) = 1
=》x + 4 = 1
=》x = 1 - 4
=》x = -3
