Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 3 = 7(x - 1)
y + 3 = 7x - 7
y = 7x - 10
If my math is correct this should be a simple equation. First you’d start off by figuring out how much money chicken costs per one pound.
53.28 / 4.5 = $11.84 per pound
Now take how much money the chicken costs per pound and divide it by how much Benjamin spent.
59.20 / 11.84 = 5 pounds
Your answer should be exactly 5 pounds
I apologize if this is incorrect math, but the equation seems simple at first glance.
In order to use the elimination method, we have to multiply the equation by some number, so that one of the variable has the same coefficient.
For example, multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second by 2 gives the following, equivalent system:

Now, we can subtract the two equations, and we will cancel (eliminate) the x variable:

Now that y is known, plug it into one of the equations: for example, if we use the first one we get

Not A.(17 is a common factor)
B. only common factor is 1
not C (7 is a common factor)
D. only common factor is 1
Both B and D are relatively prime.
