Answer:
x = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
The three angles form a straight line, so they will sum to 180
4x - 8 + 34 + 76- x = 180
Combine like terms
3x+ 102 = 180
Subtract 102 from each side
3x+102-102 = 180-102
3x= 78
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 78/3
x = 26
Answer:
Each hot dog = $3
Each french fry = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets define our variables:
x = Hotdog
y = fries
Next, you need to set up a cost equation for both Toby and Bernie:
8x + 5y = 34
2x + 6y = 18
Now, we need to isolate one of the variable:
2x + 6y = 18
2x = 18 - 6y
x = 9 - 3y
Next, we need to insert this equation back into the first equation (8x+5y = 34) to find the cost of y (fries):
8x +5y = 34
8 (9-3y) + 5y = 34
72 - 24y + 5y = 34
72 - 19y = 34
19y = 38
y or fries = $2
Finally, we need to find the cost of each hotdog by using the cost of fries ($2) in one of the formulas:
2x + 6y = 18
2x + 6(2) = 18
2x + 12 = 18
2x = 6
x or hotdog = $3
I hope this helps!

Answer:
x= 2 and y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 3y = 4 ---------------------------------(1)
-7x + 5y = -34 -----------------------------(2)
Multiply through equation (1) by 5 and multiply through equation(2) by 3
40x + 15y = 20 ----------------------------(3)
-21x + 15y =-102----------------------------(4)
Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)
61x = 122
Divide both-side of the equation by 61
61x/61 = 122/61
(At the left-hand side of the equation 61 will cancel-out 61 leaving us with just x, while at the left-hand side of the equation 122 will be divided by 61)
x = 122/61
x=2
Substitute x= 2 into equation (1)
8x + 3y = 4
8(2) + 3y = 4
16 + 3y = 4
Subtract 16 from both-side of the equation
16-16 + 3y = 4-16
3y = -12
Divide both-side of the equation by 3
3y/3 = -12/3
y = -4
x= 2 and y = -4
