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! :)

Given the numbers x = a and y = –b, which statement is true?
Minchanka [31]

choice D is correct, any number inside the absolute value sign is positive so choice A and C is eliminated, if there is a negative sign in front of the absolute value symbol, the number becomes negative which eliminates choice B. The only choice left is choice D

Find the equation of the line: parallel to 3x−y=11 through (−2, 0).
stepan [7]

Answer:

I believe it is:

slope-intercept form: y=3x+6

standard form: -3x+y=6 or 3x-y=-6

point slope-form: y-0=3(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I put 3x-y=11 into slope-intercept form:

Subtract 3x from both sides: 3x-3x-y=11-3x

That becomes -y=-3x+11

Divide both sides by -1: -y/-1=(-3x+11)/-1

That becomes y=3x-11\

Then, the definition of a parallel line is having the same slope but different y-intercepts, so I dropped the -11 as the y-intercept, and I rewrote the equation as y=3x+b, where b is the y-intercept.

Now, I have to find the y-intercept of the parallel line, so I plug the coordinates (-2,0) into the equation for x and y to solve for the y-intercept

Write the equation out with what you have so far: y=3x+b

Substitute the coordinates (-2,0) in for x and y: 0=3(-2)+b

That becomes 0=-6+b

Add 6 to both sides: 0+6=-6+6+b

That becomes 6=b, which means that 6 is your y-intercept.

Finally, you have gathered everything you need to write the parallel line in equation format.

The parallel line's equation is

in slope-intercept form: y=3x+6

in standard form: -3x+y=6 or 3x-y=-6

in point-slope form: y-0=3(x+2)
