Answer: the price of a guppy is $3.19 and the price of a platy is $2.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of a guppy.

Let y represent the price of a platy.

Marta brought 3 guppies and 2 platies for a total of $13.95. It means that

3x + 2y = 13.95 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Hank also bought 3 guppies and 4 platies for a total of $18.33. It means that

3x + 4y = 18.33 - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

2y - 4y = 13.95 - 18.33

- 2y = - 4.38

y = - 4.38/ - 2

y = 2.19

Substituting y = 2.19 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 2 × 2.19 = 13.95

3x + 4.38 = 13.95

3x = 13.95 - 4.38 = 9.57

x = 9.57/3 = 3.19

How to solvee ????? PPLLEASEEEEE
Kipish [7]
If they are all in a line then we can find the equation of their line using: y = mx + b

First find m using points (2,5) and (3,3)

m = (5-3)/(2-3) = 2/-1 = -2

Now using (3,3) and m= -2 to solve for b:

3 = -2(3) + b
3 = -6 + b
9 = b

So our equation is y = -2x + 9
That is the solution for question b)

Now to find the mystery point, solve:

1 = -2x + 9
-8 = -2x
4 = x

So our mystery point is (4,1)

So for part a) the answer is k = 4
