M=-20/7. .........!!!!!!!!
Answer:
x = -4, y = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify the 1st equation by dividing each term by 4 to get:
x + 2y = -1
-5x + 2y = 23
Subtract to get: 6x = -24
x = -4
find 'y': 2y - 5(-4) = 23
2y + 20 = 23
2y = 3
y = 3/2
So, givens: total lesson cost of $260, total lessons taken are 6, and the first lesson costs 1.5 (or 3/2) as much as the additional lessons.
First thing to do is to figure out how many additional lessons are in that, which are 5.
Then you can make a 1 variable equation with the information you have. I’m using x as my variable.
260= 3/2x + 5x
Combine like terms.
260 = 13/2x
Divide both sides by 13/2 (treat it as a fraction, and if your calculator cannot make fractions, then decimal might help for this. 13/2=6.5)
X=40
Not really, is this a rhetorical question? lol
