<span>-3x + 2y = 2 eq (1)

7x - 3y = 7 eq (2)

Mutiply eq (1) by 3 and eq (2) by 2:

-9x + 6y = 6

14x - 6y = 14

Add th two new equations:

-9x + 14x = 6 + 14

=> 5x = 20

=> x = 20/5

=> x = 4

Now from eq (1)

-3(4) + 2y = 2

=> 2y = 2 + 12

=> 2y = 14

=> y = 14 / 2

=> y = 7

So the ordered pair is (4,7)

Answer: option B. (4,7)

Ron Co. sold sweatshirts ($20) and baseball caps ($10). If total sales were $2,860 and people bought 6 times as many sweatshirts

aksik [14]

Let the total number of sweatshirts sold be S and the total number of baseball caps sold be B
Total sales is the total number of sweatshirts sold times $20 plus the total number of baseball caps sold times 10.
Equation 1: 20S + 10B = 2860
people bought 6 times as many sweatshirts as caps. Which means the number of sweatshirts sold (S) is 6 times caps sold(B)
Equation 2: S = 6B --- substitute S in equation 1 with 6B
=> 20(6B) + 10B = 2860
=> 120B + 10B = 2860
=> 130B = 2860 --- divide both side by 130
=> B = 2860/130
=> B = 22 --- is the number of caps sold.
To find the number of sweatshirts sold we use equation 2
S = 6B --- but we know now B = 22
=> S = 6(22)
=> S = 132

therefore 132 sweatshirts sold and 22 baseball caps sold.
