- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
y - 3x = 1
2y - x = 12
<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>
y - 3x = 1
- Add 3x on both sides: y = 3x + 1
<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>
y = 3x + 1
2y - x = 12
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Substitution</em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 2(3x + 1) - x = 12
- Distribute 2: 6x + 2 - x = 12
- Combine like terms: 5x + 2 = 12
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 5x = 10
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 2
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define equation: 2y - x = 12
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 2y - 2 = 12
- Isolate <em>y </em>term: 2y = 10
- Isolate <em>y</em>: y = 5
Answer:
24 pounds of Rift Valley coffee
26 pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
If R is pounds of Rift Valley coffee, and M is pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee, then:
R + M = 50
12.10 R + 13.10 M = 12.62 (50)
Substitute:
12.10 R + 13.10 (50 − R) = 12.62 (50)
12.10 R + 655 − 13.10 R = 631
R = 24
M = 26
Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
At the beggining, it says they are stacked in 5 layers which means the number of cubes is divisible by 5.
If the number of cubes equals x:
The least amount of sugar cubes the Jones family could have used is
which equals 122. The most they couldve used is
which equals 183.
Based on the information from the Jones family, x is between 122 and 183.
Based on the information from the Connor's, x is between 176 and 264.
Based on the information from both, x is between 176 and 183. The only number that is divisible by 5 between those numbers is 180 cubes.
