Answer:

To find the amount that each person must pay we use the algebraic expression:

5x-23

Step-by-step explanation:

As we would do if we were working with just numbers, to split the bill into the five friends we just need to divide the total bill by 5:

\displaystyle\frac{25x-115}{5}

We can then simplify that fraction by factoring a 5 out of the numerator:

\displaystyle\frac{2(5x-23)}{5}

Then we can cancel out the common 5 that is present in both top and bottom to finally get:

5x-23

That would be the expression to find the amount that each person must pay.

i would change the 25 in 25x-115 to 5 because 25 divided by 5 friends is 5.

Solve 3x – ly= 11 and -2x – 4y=-26 by elimination
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(5, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - y = 11 → (1)

- 2x - 4y = - 26 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 4 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

- 12x + 4y = - 44 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 14x + 0 = - 70

- 14x = - 70 ( divide both sides by - 14 )

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(5) - y = 11

15 - y = 11 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

- y = - 4 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 4

solution is (5, 4 )
