Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations below
y=2x+5
y=x+6
Equating the right hand side of the expressions we will have;
2x+5 = x+6
Collect the like terms;
2x - x = 6 - 5
x = 1
Hence the x-coordinate of the solution to the system is 1
Answer:
50 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
we can use the equation 60+80/100x=1(x+50)
we get 80/100 x because the gummy candies are 80 cents or 80/100x
we get 60 from multiplying 1.20$ x 50 = 60
solve:
60+80/100x = x+50
60 = x-80/100x+50
60-50 = 20/100x
10 = 20/100x
x= 10 x 100/20 = 10x5= 50 pounds
