X=18

Enter 18 for x:

5/6x=15
5/6(18)=15
0.833333333(18)=15
15=15

X=18

A 6 pound bag of oranges cost 6.78 What is the unit price?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$1.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 6 pound bag of oranges costs $6.78...

$\frac{6.78}{6}$

Now, let's divide 6.78 in to 6 to find our unit price.

$\frac{1.13}{1}$

Now we know 1 pound, (our unit price), costs...

$$1.13$

Solve the system of equations. 10x+y=−20 y=2x2−4x−16 ( , ) and ( , )

Sladkaya [172]

I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = $-1 \frac{1}{3}$

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ ) + y = -20
$-13 \frac{1}{3}$ + y = -20 (subtract $-13 \frac{1}{3}$ )
y = $-6 \frac{2}{3}$

The solution for this system of equations is ( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ , $-6 \frac{2}{3}$ ).

Solve by elimination:

Pie

Answer:

B (5, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 4y = 97

9x + 6y = 123

To solve by elimination, we want to eliminate a variable. To do this, we must make one variable cancel out.

First, we can see that both equations have 9x. To cancel out x, we must make one of the 9x's negative. To do this, multiply each term in the equation by -1.

-1(9x + 6y = 123)

-9x - 6y = -123

This is one of your equations. Set it up with your other given equation.

9x + 4y = 97

-9x - 6y = -123

Imagine this is one equation. Since every term is negative, you will be subtracting each term.

9x + 4y = 97

-9x - 6y = -123

___________

0x -2y = -26

-2y = -26

To isolate y further, divide both sides by -2.

y = 13

Now, to find x, plug y back into one of the original equations.

9x + 4(13) = 97

Multiply.

9x + 52 = 97

Subtract.

9x = 45

Divide.

x = 5

Check your answer by plugging both variables into the equation you have not used yet.

-9(5) - 6(13) = -123

-45 - 78 = -123

-123 = -123

Your answer is correct!

(5, 13)

Hope this helps!
