Solve by elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
romanna [79]3 years ago
5 0

so, we will eliminate one of the variables, by multiplying one of the equations by "some number" that will be the opposite of the one below, say....  let's eliminate the "y", so if we multiply (-7y) * -2, we get +14y,  and 14y - 14y = 0, so let's use that.


\bf \begin{array}{llll} -x~~-7y=~14& \times -2\implies &~~2x+14y=-28\\ -4x-14y=28&&-4x-14y=~~28\\ \cline{3-3} &&-2x~~~~~~~~=~~0 \end{array} \\\\\\ -2x=0\implies \boxed{x=0} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using that \underline{x} in the 1st equation}}{-(0)-7y=14}\implies y=\cfrac{14}{-7}\implies \boxed{y=-2} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (0, -2)~\hfill

A high school sports team is ordering sports drinks online from a company. The price of sports drinks varies, based on the numbe
Elena-2011 [213]

The amount of drinks is a linear function of the number of drinks. The maximum amount that can be purchased is 100 soft drinks.

Let

y \to amount of drinks

x \to number of drinks

For drinks not more than 50

y = 10 + 0.8x

For drinks more than 50.

y = 15 + 0.7x

For a purchase of $85, it means that:

y = 85

So, we solve for x in both equations.

y = 10 + 0.8x

85 = 10 + 0.8x

Collect like terms

0.8x = 85-10

0.8x = 75

Divide through by 0.8

x = 93.75

x = 94 --- approximated

y = 15 + 0.7x

85 =15 + 0.7x

Collect like terms

0.7x = 85 - 15

0.7x = 70

Divide by 0.7

x = 100

By comparing both values:

x = 100

x = 94

100 > 94

Hence, the maximum amount that can be purchased is 100
