Answer:
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
opening the bracket on the LHS, we have
-8x-40= -3x+x-7-3
-8x-40= -2x-10
collecting like terms
-8x+2x= -10+40
-6x= 30
divide both sides by -6
x= -5
<span>Granola bars cost $1 each and the yogurt is $.50 per cup. If we plug this in to each equation, you'll see that 12 granola bars equals $12, and 7 cups of yogurt equals $3.50, for a total of $15.50. The second statement would yield $6 + $5.50, which equals $11.50.</span>
The answer is 12!
Hope this helps! :D
------The answers got taken down :(------
X=2h, y=3k
Substitute these values into equations.
y+2x = 4 ------> 3k+2*2h=4 -----> 3k +4h =4
2/y - 3/2x = 1-----> 2/3k -3/(2*2h) = 1 ------> 2/3k - 3/4h =1
We have a system of equations now.
3k +4h =4 ------> 3k = 4-4h ( Substitute 3k in the 2nd equation.)
2/3k - 3/4h =1
2/(4-4h) -3/4h = 1
2/(2(2-2h)) - 3/4h = 1
1/(2-2h) -3/4h - 1=0
4h/4h(2-2h) -3(2-2h)/4h(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h)/4h(2-2h) =0
(4h- 3(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h))/4h(2-2h) = 0
Numerator should be = 0
4h- 3(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h)=0
Denominator cannot be = 0
4h(2-2h)≠0
Solve equation for numerator=0
4h- 3(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h)=0
4h - 6+6h-8h+8h² =0
8h² +2h -6=0
4h² + h-3 =0
(4h-3)(h+1)=0
4h-3=0, h+1=0
h=3/4 or h=-1
Check which
4h(2-2h)≠0
1) h= 3/4 , 4*3/4(2-2*3/4)=3*(2-6)= -12 ≠0, so we can use h= 3/4
2)h=-1, 4(-1)(2-2*(-1)) =-4*4=-16 ≠0, so we can use h= -1, also.
h=3/4, then 3k = 4-4*3/4 =4 - 3=1 , 3k =1, k=1/3
h=-1, then 3k = 4-4*(-1) =8 , 3k=8, k=8/3
So,
if h=3/4, then k=1/3,
and if h=-1, then k=8/3 .
Let x= number of board games
<span>20x=10410+2.65x </span>
<span>-2.65 -2.65 </span>
<span>17.35x=10410 </span>
<span>/17.35 /17.35 </span>
<span>x=600 </span>
<span>You would need to sell at least 600 board games to break even</span>
