Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
Answer:
Independent: Amount of hours she works
Dependent: Amount of money she makes
Step-by-step explanation:
The independent variable is the part of the equation that changes. In this case the only thing that changes is how long she works, the amount of money she charges and what she is doing does not change.
The dependent variable is what you measure in the equation. In this case, the amount of money she makes <em>depends</em><em> </em><em>on</em> the amount of time she works.
That would be 4
