Solve by elimination -3x+2y=10 -2x-y=-5

1 answer:

6 0

First you need to get two similar terms to eliminate, I'll do y:
-3x + 2y = 10
-4x - 2y= -10
And then you minus
x = 20
Now you can substitute x in to one of the equations to find y:
-60 + 2y = 10
+ 60
2y = 70
÷ 2
y = 35
So your values are y = 35 and x = 20. Hope this helps!

Barbara charges $3.50, plus $2.25 for each hour she babysits. If Barbara charges $21.50, how many hours does she babysit?

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 2.25X + 3.50 = 21.50

X represents the unknown amount of hours she worked. 2.25 is the cost per hour. 3.50 is the fee she charges for every gig. That fee only happens once a gig so naturally it wasn't the number x was placed with.

2.25X + 3.50 = 21.50

2.25X + 3.50 - 3.50 = 21.50 - 3.50

2.25X = 18

2.25X = 18

2.25 2.25

X = 8
