Answer:
{(-34/7, -16/7)}
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange values, multiply to solve for x.
(5) 2y = 3x + 10
(-2) 5y = 4x + 8
Solve for x.
10y = 15x + 50 ↓
-10y = -8x -16
Combine and evaluate.
0 = 7x + 34
Subtract 34 from both sides.
7x = -34
Divide both sides by 7.
x = 
Plugin x value into either equation to solve for y.
2y = (3 × ) + 10
2y = 
+ 10
2y = 
y = 
1. You would divide the 33/3 first to get 11
2. Then you would add 1 to that answer to get 12
3. Then you would subtract 2^2 from that to get 8
Your answer would be 8.
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
