Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the coefficient of x the same

Multiply the first equation by 29

31x + 29y = 33 becomes

899x + 841y = 957

Multiply the second equation by 31

29x + 31y = 27 becomes

899x + 961y = 837

Subtract the equations

(899x + 841y) - (899x + 961y) = 957 - 837

(899x - 899x) + (841y - 961y) = 120

841y - 961y = 120

-120y = 120

y = 120/-120 = -1

Substitute the value of y into both equations to find the value of x and check its right.

31x + 29y = 33

31x + 29(-1) = 33

31x - 29 = 33

31x = 33 + 29

31x = 62

x = 62/31 = 2

29x + 31y = 27

29x + 31(-1) = 27

29x - 31 = 27

29x = 27 + 31

29x = 58

x = 58/29 = 2

P1. if your school makes $0.72 profit on every 6 raffle tickets sold, how much will it make when it sells the 11th ticket
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Part 1 = $1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

.72 divided by 6 is 12. So they make 12 cents per ticket, so that means you would have to do 12 times 11 and that should get you 132 cents and that is equivalent to $1.32.

What is the mean and median of 4,9,26,20,23,0,37??
yan [13]

Answer: Hello, The mean is is 17 and the median is 20

Step-by-step explanation: The mean is a type of average. It is the sum (total) of all the values in a set of data, such as numbers or measurements, divided by the number of values on the list. To find the mean, add up all the values in the set. ... That is the mean. The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. The median is sometimes used as opposed to the mean when there are outliers in the sequence that might skew the average of the values.
