EQUATIONS:
24x + 32y = 264
x + y = 9

x is shirts, y is pants

SOLVING by substitution:
x = 9 - y

24(9 - y) + 32y = 264

216 - 24y + 32y = 264

8y = 48

y = 6

x + 6 = 9

x = 3

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of large and small box are x and y respectively.

It is given that a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms.

5x+3y=131                .... (1)

A delivery of 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms.

2x+6y=116                .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2) using graphing calculator, we get

x=18.25

y=13.25

Therefore the weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Y=6x – 11<br> -2x – 3y =-7
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

x=2   and   y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Plug the y value into the second equation. It will look like the following afte you plug in what y equals:

              -2x-3(6x-11)=-7

2). Then, you distribute the "-3" to all the terms inside the parenthesis.

              -2x-18x+33=7

3). Then, you subtract the positive 33 from both sides to try to get the x alone on one side.

              -2x-18x=-40

4.) Then, you combine all of the terms containing an x.

              -20x=-40

5). Finally, you divide both sides by -20 and the outcome is x=2.

6).  Hold up...we ain't done yet..

7).  Next, you have to plug the x back into the either equation to get the outcome of what y will be, but for this purpose I will plug it back into the first equation.

              y=6(2)-11

8). I will then distribute the 6 into the all the terms in the parenthesis and then it will look like this.

              y= 12-11

9). Do the math...and the answer is y=1.
