Answer:
x = 1, y = 6
or
x = 5, y = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x2−7x+12
y=−x+7
Substitute for y in the first equation:
- x + 7 = x^2 - 7x + 12
x^2 - 7x + x + 12 - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0
(x - 1)(x - 5) = 0
x = 1, 5.
When x = 1, y = -1 + 7 = 6.
when x = 5, y = -5+7 = 2.
2 1/2 is in mixed fraction. So let's first make it into improper fraction.
(2*2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
5/2 of 7.25 = (5*7.25) / 2 = 18.125
in short, 18.125 is the answer
Hello!
Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.
2x + y = 482
× + 2y = 370
2x + 47 = 740
-3y = -258
y = 86 cents
2x + 86 = 482
2x = 396
x = 198
A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86
I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!
