Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1

Answer:
C is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
One avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a system of equations where t is the number of tomatoes and a is the number of avocados:
4t + 8a = 10
6t + 14a = 17
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2:
12t + 24a = 30
-12t - 28a = -34
Add them together and solve for a:
-4a = -4
a = 1
Plug in 1 as a into one of the equations and solve for t:
4t + 8a = 10
4t + 8(1) = 10
4t + 8 = 10
4t = 2
t = 0.5
So, one avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50
n (AUB) = 59
Step-by-step explanation:
n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) -n(A intersection B)
= 26+ 41- 8
= 59
