<span>let p=pounds
4.3p+1.7
p=41.94
6p=41.94
now just divide both sides by 6
p=?</span>
Answer:
x=2, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + y = 8
2x + 4y = 12
Multiply the first equation by -4
-12x -4y = -32
Then add to the second equation
-12x -4y = -32
2x + 4y = 12
------------------------
-10x + 0y = -20
-10x = -20
Divide by -10
-10x/-10 = -20/-10
x =2
Now find y
3x+y = 8
3(2)+y = 8
6+y = 8
y = 8-6
y =2
