Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the number of books Rachel sold on Monday.

On Tuesday, she sold twice as many books as she did on Monday.

i.e. On Tuesday she sold 2m books

On Wednesday, she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday.

i.e. On Wednesday she sold 2m-6 books

During the three days Rachel sold 19 books.

i.e. m+2m+2m-6=19

i.e.  5m-6=19

Adding both sides by 6, we get

5m=25

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

m=5

Hence, equation that can be used to find m is:

m+2m+2m-6=19

Let m = the amount books Rachel sold on Monday.
then t = the amount books Rachel sold on Tuesday.<span>
then w = </span><span>the amount books Rachel sold on Wednesday.

On Tuesday she sold twice as she did on Monday.
 t = m * 2

On Wednesday she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday
w = t - 6

Now for the fun.

t = m * 2
w = t - 6

Substitute t for real value

w = m * 2 - 6

Now solve for m.

w - 6 = m * 2 <-- Transpose the 6
(w-6)/2 = m <-- Transpose the 2.
m = (w-2)/2 < The Law of Reflexive Property of Equality</span>

Solve the system of equations.
guajiro [1.7K]

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).
