Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the system of equations together:
2x - 3y = 12
4x + 3y = 24
you get
6x = 36
divide by the coefficient
6x/6 = 1
36/6 = 6
x = 6
Not sure if you need the y, but if so, let me know!
Hope this helps!
If you want to find the solutions for this you have to factor it. Since it's a second degree polynomial, you'll have 2 solutions. Factoring this using the quadratic formula, you'll get factors of (5x-8)(3x-4). Solving these for x you get x = 8/5 and x = 4/3.
Line 4. 12 would be divided by 6, not multiplied.
a.
h = 2c - 3
b.
3h + 1.5c = 201
c.
We have a system of equations from part a and b.
h = 2c - 3 (equation 1)
3h + 1.5c = 201 (equation 2)
We use substitution method to solve this system.
Substitute equation 1 in equation 2 to get
3h + 1.5c = 201
>> 3(2c - 3) + 1.5c = 201
>> 6c - 9 + 1.5c = 201
>> 7.5c = 201 + 9
>> 7.5c = 210
>> c = 210 / 7.5
>> c = 28
Plug this value back in equation 1 to get
h = 2c - 3
>> h = 2(28) - 3 = 56 - 3 = 53
So, c = 28 and h = 53 implies that <u>28 corndogs</u> and 53 hotdogs were sold.
