Answer:

Cost of each hat: $5

Cost of each mask: $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the cost in dollars of a party hat and "y" the cost in dollars of a mask.

Set up a System of equations using the information given in the exercise:

\left \{ {{3x+4y=27} \atop {3x+6y=33}} \right.

You can use the Elimination Method to solve this System of equations:

1. You can multiply the first equation by -1.

2. Then you must add the equations.

3. Solve for "y".

Then:

\left \{ {{-3x-4y=-27} \atop {3x+6y=33}} \right.\\.....................\\2y=6\\\\y=\frac{6}{2}\\\\y=3

4. Now you can substitute the value of "y" into any original equation.

5. Finally, solve for "x" in order to find its value.

Then:

 3x+4(3)=27\\\\3x=27-12\\\\x=\frac{15}{3}\\\\x=5

Ugo [173]

Answer:

3x² – 2x – 8

=> 3x² – 6x + 4x – 8

=> 3x( x – 2 ) + 4( x – 2 )

=> ( 3x + 4 ) ( x – 2 )

Therefore,

Either, 3x + 4 = 0

3x = - 4

x = - 4/3 (Ans)

And,

x – 2 = 0

x = 2 (Ans)
