Answer:

The solution is x=4.75  and   y = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system of equations, we will follow the steps below:

3.2x + 0.5y = 4.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

-1.6x -0.5y = 3.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)

add equation (1) and equation (2)

1.6x =7.6

Divide both-side of the equation by 1.6 to get the value of x

1.6x /1.6 =7.6/1.6

x =4.75

substitute x = 4.75 into equation (1) and solve for y

3.2(4.75) + 0.5y = 4.2

15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2

subtract 15.2 from both-side of the equation

15.2 - 15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2-15.2

0.5y = -11

Divide both-side of the equation by 0.5

0.5y/0.5 = -11/0.5

y = -22

The solution is x=4.75  and   y = -22

Bingel [31]

64 inches = 1 \frac{7}{9} yards

using the conversion : 1 yard = 36 inches

divide 64 by 36 to convert to yards

= \frac{64}{36} ← ( divide numerator/denominator by 4 )

\frac{64}{36} = \frac{16}{9} = 1 \frac{7}{9}

I'm not sure what exactly you did wrong, but I agree with you that the sample size is too small, so the correct answer will probably be the fourth options. Hope that this gives you some confidence, and 'm sorry not to be able to help you any further...

An HP printer costs $180, with printing costs of $0.03 per page. A Samsung printer costs $230, with printing costs of $0.01 per
Softa [21]

Answer:

2,500 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the overall cost

x -----> the number of pages

we know that

HP printer

y=0.03x+180 ------> equation A

Samsung printer

y=0.01x+230 -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

0.03x+180=0.01x+230

Solve for x

0.03x-0.01x=230-180\\0.02x=50\\x=2,500\ pages
