Answer:
x+3y = 6
or, x = 6-3y.................(1)
3x+5y =6..........(2)
Substituting x = 6-3y in equation (2),
3 (6 - 3 y)+5 y =6
or, 18 - 9y +5y=6
or, y = 3
x = 6 - 3y = 6- 3.-3 = -3
Answer:
The streets of millston are laid out like a grid, with each square block being the same size. the distance from the movie theater to the restaurant is 1/2 mile along cabot street .If there are exactly 4 blocks between the two locations, how long is each block.
Answer:
2x + 3y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is Ax + By = C, A, B and C must be intergers, cannot be fractions or decimals
y = -2/3x + 4 First we want to get rid of the fractions. There is only one, so if we multiply both sides by 3 that should do it.
3y = -2x + 12 Now make the constant be on one side by itself
2x + 3y = 12
0.19 for one cookie and 0.59 for one doughnut
x for how much one cookie costs and y for how much one doughnut costs
6x+4y=3.5
12x+5y=5.23
solve by substitution: (elimination would work too)
4y=3.5-6x
y=0.875-1.5x
12x+5(0.875-1.5x)=5.23
12x+4.375x-7.5x=5.23
4.5x=0.855
x=0.19
now use x to solve for y:
6(0.19)+4y=3.5
1.14+4y=3.5
2.36=4y
y=0.59
Check the work: 6(0.19)+4(0.59)=3.5
