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! :)

Please help me solve this problem
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

x ≤ 17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the same as solving an equation, except instead of and equal sign it's an arrow.

We have to evaluate everything in the parenthesis first.

3x - 2 (x + 1) ≤ 15

3x - 2x - 2 ≤ 15

Next, we combine like terms - x's

3x - 2x - 2 ≤ 15

x - 2 ≤ 15

Combine like terms - constants (add 2 to both sides)

x - 2 ≤ 15

<u>x ≤ 17</u>

Rearrange the equation so m is the independent variable.<br><br> 7m + 2 = 7n - 5
9966 [12]

Answer:

M = n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7m + 2 = 7n - 5

Group like terms

7m = 7n - 5 - 2

7m = 7n - 7

7m/7 = 7n /7 - 7/7

M = n - 1
