Answer: Choice B) (24,10)

---------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

2x - 4y = 8
2( x ) - 4y = 8
2( 3y-6 ) - 4y = 8 ... notice x has been replaced with 3y-6
2(3y)+2(-6) - 4y = 8
6y-12 - 4y = 8
2y-12 = 8
2y-12+12 = 8+12 ... add 12 to both sides
2y = 20
2y/2 = 20/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = 10

If y = 10, then
x = 3y-6
x = 3*10-6 ... replace y with 10
x = 30-6
x = 24

Put together, the solution is (x,y) = (24,10)
which is why the answer is choice B

As a check, we can plug (x,y) = (24,10) into each equation
x = 3y-6
24 = 3*10 - 6
24 = 30 - 6
24 = 24 ... true equation
and similarly for the second equation as well
2x-4y = 8
2*24 - 4*10 = 8
48 - 40 = 8
8 = 8 ... true equation
Both equations are true when (x,y) = (24,10) so the solution is confirmed

Jenna wants to build 8 birdhouses. She needs 2 3/5 square feet of plywood for each birdhouse. If the plywood costs $0.56 per squ
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

$11.76

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the amount of plywood for all birdhouses.

2 3/5 * 8 = 104/5 or 20.8 or 20 4/5

Now we can solve the cost for all the birdhouses by multiplying the total amount of plywood needed by the price per square foot.

20.8 * 0.56 = $11.648 or estimated $11.65

Remember, the question might be different, so don't submit anything yet. If the people who sell the plywood only sell in integer numbers (meaning you can't buy 4/5 of a square foot of wood but can only by amounts with no fractions), then Jenna must buy 21 square feet of plywood and will have a little bit of wood left over. Now solve just like before.

21 * 0.56 = $11.76

Therefore the answer is $11.76 if she can only buy an integer amount of plywood or estimated $11.65. I think the best answer is 11.76.
