The answer to this is x/2 = 3.
Answer:
x < 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x= # of hikes
3x +16 =5x
-3x. -3x
16=2x
16/2= 8
2x/2= x
8=x
x=8
check:
3(8) +16 =5(8)
24 +16 =40
40=40 ✓
there for at 8 hikes with either deal it would be the same but if you went up a number of hikes for the first option it would only be $43.00 spent in total. but with the second option it would be $45.00.
Answer:
D. Infinite solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they give us the equation for (y) we just implement that equation in place of (y) in the second equation
15x+3y=27 now becomes
15x+3(-5x+9)=27
Distribute the 3
15x-15x+27=27
15x and -15x cancel out
27=27
Infinite solutions since both sides are exactly equal.
