Answer:
T-shirts cost $20; each pair of pants cost $12.
Step-by-step explanation:
x is T-shirts ; y is each pair of pants
(8x+5y=220) -1
(5x+y=112) 5
----------------------
-8-5y=220
25+5y=560
----------------
17x=340
x=20
Answer:
y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x = -5y+2
x=3y-2
substitute for x ans solve
3y-2=-5y+2
8y-2=2
8y = 4
y= 4/8
y=1/2
Answer: 6 people ordered for the lobster dinner.
2 people ordered for the steak dinner.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of people that ordered the lobster dinner.
Let y represent the number of people that ordered the steak dinner.
A family of 8 went out to dinner. This means that
x + y = 8
Each person either ordered the lobster dinner, which costs $25, or the steak dinner which cost $20. The total cost of all the meals is $190. This means that
25x + 20y = 190 - - - - - - - - - -- -1
Substituting x = 8 - y into equation 1, it becomes
25(8 - y) + 20y = 190
200 - 25y + 20y = 190
- 25y + 20y = 190 - 200
- 5y = - 10
y = - 10/ - 5
y = 2
x = 8 - y = 8 - 2
x = 6
