-7x - 2y = 19
4x + y = -12
Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)
-7x - 2y = 19
8x + 2y = -76
Add equations together
x = -52
Plug x value into an equation
4(-52) + y = -12
Solve for y
-208 + y = -12
y = 196
Hope this helps! ;)
Answer: 2g - 3
Explanation: not sure
Can of baked beans = x
packet of brown sugar = y
packet of biscuit = z
5x + 4y + 2z = 150 - 26 ⇒ 5x + 4y + 2z = 124 is the total cost of all items.
can of baked beans = x = 1/2 of z
packet of sugar = y = z - 3
5(z/2) + 4(z-3) + 2z = 124
5z/2 + 4z - 12 + 2z = 124
5z/2 + 6z = 124 + 12
2(5z/2 + 6z) = 2(136)
5z + 12z = 272
17z = 272
z = 16 cost of a packet of biscuit.
x = 1/2 of z = 16/2 = 8 cost of a can of baked beans
y = z - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13 cost of a packet of sugar
5x + 4y + 2z = 124
5(8) + 4(13) + 2(16) = 124
40 + 52 + 32 = 124
124 = 124
8(8) + 1(13) + 6(16) = 64 + 13 + 96 = 173 total cost on question 3.
44, 46, 48 , 50 , 52 , 54 are the integers
