Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations appear to be ...
- 12x +4y = 152
- 32x +12y = 420
These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:
y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11
The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>
For equations ...
ax +by =c
dx +ey = f
The solutions are ...
x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)
y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression
Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.
The length and width of the television could be any two numbers whose product is 70.
Multiply the money earned on the first day ($35.20) by 1/4.
= 35.20 * 1/4
multiply numerators
= (35.20 * 1)/4
=35.20/4
divide
= $8.80
ANSWER: $8.80 was used to buy more supplies
