x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer
x = 2
y = 1
Answer:
$21.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work.
He bought 8 bags of jolly ranchers
Each bag of jolly ranchers cost $3.25.
Hence, the cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers = 8 × $3.25
= $26
He also bought 25 bags of assorted chocolate and each bag of assorted chocolate cost $2.10.
Hence, the cost of 25 bags of assorted chocolates = 25 × $2.10
= $52.5
Therefore, the amount of money Mr. Gutierrez has left over after these purchases is calculated as:
Total amount - Sum of ( Cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers + 25 bags of assorted chocolates)
= $100 - ( $26 + $52.5)
= $100 - $78.50
= $21.50
-0.83 for it’s the lowest number
