Y = -3x - 1......so we sub in -3x - 1 in for y in the other equation
2x + 5y = 12
2x + 5(-3x - 1) = 12....now distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
2x - 15x - 5 = 12...add 5 to both sides
2x - 15x = 12 + 5..combine like terms
-13x = 17...divide both sides by -13
x = -17/13
now sub in -17/13 for x in the other equation
y = -3x - 1
y = -3(-17/13) - 1
y = 51/13 - 1
y = 51/13 - 13/13
y = 38/13
so the solution is (-17/13, 38/13)
Answer:
Part A:
c = .86*p
c =1.72 for 2 lbs
Part B:
c =.81p
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .86*p
Let p = 2
c = .86*2
c =1.72
Part B:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .(.86-.05)*p
c =.81p
