So for this, I will be doing the elimination method. Firstly, multiply both sides of the first equation by 2:
Next, add the two equations together to get 
. From here you can solve for x.
For this equation, just divide both sides by 8 and your first answer will be 
Now that we have the value of x, substitute it into either equation to solve for y:
<u>In short, the solution is (2,-5), or A.</u>
Answer:
50% of 1/3: 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6
75% of 1/2: 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
50% = 1/2
50% of 1/3: 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6
75% of 1/2: 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:763
Hello!
Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.
2x + y = 482
× + 2y = 370
2x + 47 = 740
-3y = -258
y = 86 cents
2x + 86 = 482
2x = 396
x = 198
A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86
I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!
