Answer:
x=8 ???
Step-by-step explanation:
??? not 100% sure but im pretty sure ;w;
For elimination, multiply one whole equation by negative one (-1), then add or subtract according to your signs. After that, it will be a one-step equation.
3x + 4y = 19 3x + 4y = 19 3x + 4y = 19 -2y = -14 y = 7
3x + 6y = 33 -1 (3x + 6y = 33) -3x - 6y = -33 -14 / -2
Then you would go back and substitute the value of (y) back into either equation and then solve for the remaining variable (x). Finally, use both values to make an ordered pair.
3x + 4y = 19 3x = -9 x = -3 (-3 , 7)
3x + 4(7) = 19 (-9 / 3)
3x + 28 = 19
Good Luck
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: $8.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of a bread = x
Let the price of a tarts = x - 1
If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:
3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5
3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5
3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5
3.5x = 30
x = 30/3.5
x = 8.6
