Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39
Answer:
a) FALSE
Step-by-step explanation:
a) FALSE (it was translated from quadrant III to quadrant I)
b) TRUE
c) TRUE
d) TRUE
e) FALSE
The ratio would be 16:14 and then simplify it to 8:7
The best way to solve this problem is by plugging in each answer choice for both equations and seeing which one works. You can already see that choice A doesn't work because -1 is not greater than or equal to 4. That means you just need to test choices B and C!
Choice B (4, -2)
2 is not greater than or equal to 6, so choice B doesn't work.
Choice C (4, 2)
Since 6 is equal to 6 and 4 is equal to 4, choice C works!

Answer: C) (4, 2)
Answer:
A) but it is not a good choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't like A much. An Isosceles triangle has 2 congruent sides. If all three are congruent, it is equilateral.
Of the three choices however, it is A. B is a scalene triangle and C is as stated, equilateral.
