Answer: y= -2 - 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x -2y = 1
+4x +4x
-2y = 4x + 1
/-2 /-2 /-2
y= -2 - 1/2
I think, i may be incorrect but the verbal explanation is; -4x is needed to be moved so you add 4x to both sides and 4x cancels out on the left which leaves -2y on the left (when it was moved "x" is always first). then divide all numbers by -2 to get y by itself. this gives you y= -2 - 1/2 if my calculations are correct.
We can write a system of equations:
1x + 10y = 182
x + y = 56
Where 'x' is the number of $1 bills, and 'y' is the number of $10 bills.
To find this we can solve using substitution.
Re-arrange the 2nd equation:
x + y = 56
Subtract 'y' to both sides:
x = -y + 56
Now we can plug in '-y + 56' for 'x' in the first equation.
1x + 10y = 182
1(-y + 56) + 10y = 182
-y + 56 + 10y = 182
Subtract 56 to both sides:
-y + 10y = 126
Combine like terms:
9y = 126
Divide 9 to both sides:
y = 14
Now we can plug this into any of the two equations to find the 'x' value.
x + y = 56
x + 14 = 56
Subtract 14 to both sides:
x = 42
So our final answer is (42, 14).
This means that the motel clerk had 42 $1 bills, and 14 $10 bills.
