X= cost per movie
y= cost per video game

EQUATION 1:
2x + 3y= $21

EQUATION 2:
4x + 8y= $53

STEP 1:
multiply equation 1 by -2.

-2(2x + 3y)= -2($21)
-4x - 6y= -42


STEP 2:
solve linear equations by elimination. use equation 2 and equation answer from step 1. add the two equations together. the x terms will cancel out. solve for y.

4x + 8y= 53
-4x - 6y= -42

2y= 11
divide both sides by 2
y= 11/2
divide
y= $5.5 per video game


STEP 3:
substitute y answer from step 2 into either original equation to solve for x.
2x + 3y= $21
2x + 3(5.50)= 21
2x + 16.50= 21
subtract 16.50 from both sides
2x= 4.50
divide both sides by 2
x= $2.25 per movie


CHECK:
4x + 8y= $53
4(2.25) + 8(5.50)= 53
9 + 44= 53
53= 53


ANSWER: The cost per movie is $2.25 and the cost per video game is $5.50.

Hope this helps! :)

MrRa [10]

Fifth root of x  is x^1/5  as an exponential expression. .  This to the 7th power is

x ^(1/5 * 7) which is  x^(7/5).  Bringing this to the third power is  x^ (21/5) which is your answer.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

I think its −1306800x+91040454

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

32+100(−3x+209)(662)+11+34

Distribute:

=32+−1306800x+91040400+11+34

=9+−1306800x+91040400+11+34

Combine Like Terms:

=9+−1306800x+91040400+11+34

=(−1306800x)+(9+91040400+11+34)

=−1306800x+91040454

How do u solve this step by step and also pls don’t answer unnecessarily
kari74 [83]
You have to have one side equal x so I’ll solve one from each section

e) x = 2

5x = 12 - x
add x to both sides
6x = 12
divide both sides by 6
x = 2

k) x = 3

15x + 4 = 10x + 19
move the 4 to the other side by subtracting on both sides
15x = 10x + 15
subtract 10x from both sides
5x = 15
divide by sides by 5
x = 3
