12s, you don’t have a value for s, so the problem can’t be fully solved but if you did you would multiply 12 by her speed
Hope this helps
Answer:
(4,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 4 -------eqn 1
4y = x + 12 ------eqn 2
From eqn 1 y = 2x - 4; insert in eqn 2
4 (2x-4) = x + 12 (open the bracket)
8x - 16 = x + 12 (taking like figures to the same side, sign changes)
8x - x = 12 + 16
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
From eqn 1
y = 2x - 4
y = 2(4) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
(x,y) = (4,4)
Answer: the cost of each pencil is $0.5
the cost of each eraser is $0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one pencil.
Let y represent the cost of one eraser.
Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers. This means that
2x + 3y = 1.45- - - - - - - - - -1
Luke spent $2.65 for 5 pencils and 1 eraser. This means that
5x + y = 2.65- - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
2x + 3y = 1.45
15x + 3y = 7.95
Subtracting, it becomes
- 13x = - 6.5
x = - 6.5/- 13
x = 0.5
Substituting x = 0.5 into equation 2, it becomes
5 × 0.5 + y = 2.65
2.5 + y = 2.65
y = 2.65 - 2.5
y = 0.15
