13x - 6y = 2......multiply by 2
3x - 4y = -10....multiply by -3
------------------
26x - 12y = 4 (result of multiplying by 2)
-9x + 12y = 30 (result of multiplying by -3)
-----------------add
17x = 34
x = 34/17
x = 2

now sub 2 in for x into either of the original equations to find y
3x - 4y = -10
3(2) - 4y = -10
6 - 4y = -10
6 + 10 = 4y
16 = 4y
16/4 = y
4 = y

solution is (2,4)

Determine the equation of the inverse of y = 7x + 2

Eddi Din [679]

Since we are finding the inverse you switch the variable. So it is now x=7y+2 and now you solve for y. You would get x-2/7 = y for the inverse

Find the mode of the following data:

Dafna1 [17]

C. 16

To find the mode, you find the highest number in the data set, then you subtract the highest number (21) from the lowest number in the data set (4). So the mode would be 16.

scoray [572]

Answer:

The cost of 5 bags of popcorn and 2 sodas is 14.25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x units be the cost of a popcorn bag and y units be cost of soda.

The cost of 4 bags of popcorn and 3 sodas is 13.50.

Thus, we can write the equation:

$4x + 3y = 13.50$
