Answer:
(3, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 3y = 27 → (1)
2x + y = 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
y = 10 - 2x → (2)
substitute y = 10 - 2x into (1)
5x + 3(10 - 2x) = 27
5x + 30 - 6x = 27
- x + 30 = 27 ( subtract 30 from both sides )
- x = - 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = 3
substitute x = 3 into (2)
y = 10 - 2(3) = 10 - 6 = 4
solution is (3, 4 )
Answer:
a = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
26.6 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion
3/8 = 10/x
cross multiply
3x = 80
x = 26.6
Shirts: 3 x 15.50 = 46.50
120 - 46.50 = 73.50 left to spend on shoes
73.50/32.50(cost per pair) = 2.26....so he was able to purchase 2 pairs of shoes.
