People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x
y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280
So we have 280 people in the building.
check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women
so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!
hope this is right! have a great. day
Store B, since they are two for 4.20$ while Store A has only ONE for 3.00$ meaning let’s say we’re gonna buy two packs it would be 4.20$ for Store B and 6.00$ for Store A
Answer:
Option 2: (1, 0) and (0, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve this system of equations using the elimination method.
Start by labelling the two equations.
5x -y= 5 -----(1)
5x² -y= 5 -----(2)
(2) -(1):
5x² -y -(5x -y)= 5 -5
Expand:
5x² -y -5x +y= 0
5x² -5x= 0
Factorise:
5x(x -1)= 0
5x= 0 or x -1= 0
x= 0 or x= 1
Now that we have found the x values, we can substitute them into either equations to solve for y.
Substitute into (1):
5(0) -y= 5 or 5(1) -y= 5
0 -y= 5 or -y= 5 -5
y= -5 or -y= 0
y= 0
Thus, the solutions are (0, -5) and (1, 0).
