Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Because the cost (c) depends on the pounds (p), we have to multiple the weight by 6, because it is $6 per pound.
3x + 2y = 10 .....multiply by -2
2x + 3y = 15/2...multiply by 3
------------------
-6x - 4y = -20 (result of multiplying by -2)
6x + 9y = 22.5 (result of multiplying by 3)
-----------------add
5y = 2.5
y = 2.5/5
y = 1/2
3x + 2y = 10
3x + 2(1/2) = 10
3x + 1 = 10
3x = 10 - 1
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
solution is (3,-1/2)
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the slope of both lines and then compare these slopes:
From (-4,3) to (-5,4) entails a decrease of -1 in x and an increase of 1 in y. Thus, the slope is m = rise / run = 1/(-1) = -1.
From (0,1) to (5,0) entails an increase of 5 in x and a decrease of 1 in y. The slope here is m = rise / run = -1/5.
For these lines to be parallel, their slopes must be the same. That is not the case here, so NO, the lines are not parallel.
Answer:
Step 1
Step-by-step explanation:
they were supposed to multiply 2x by 4 and -1 by 4 but they only multiplied 2x by 4.
