-4x + 3y = -2<br> y = x - 1<br><br> Solve the system of equations for x and y.
viva [34]

Answer:

(-1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug (x-1) for y in the first equation:

-4x + 3(x-1) = -2

Simplify:

-4x + 3x - 3 = -2

-x = 1

x = -1

Plug in x=-1 into the second equation:

y = (-1) - 1

y = -2

Miriam is going to the county fair. Each ride ticket costs $2 and admission costs $7. Miriam has $25 to spend at the fair.
Talja [164]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ride ticket= $2

Admission= $7

Amount= $25

We want to find the greatest number of rides

let the number of rides be x

The expression to describe how she spends the amount is given as

y=7+2x

for y= 25, let us find x

25= 7+2x

25-7= 2x

18=3x

x= 18/2

x= 9

Hence the number of rides is 9

Arianna is buying plants for her garden. She buys 15 flowering plants for $96. Pink flowering plants sell for $8, and purple flo
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

  • 7 pink flowering plants

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total number of plants = 15
  • Total cost = $96
  • Cost of pink flowering plant = $8
  • Cost of purple flowering plant = $5

<u>Let x and y be the number of plants bought. Then we have equations:</u>

  • 8x + 5y = 96
  • x + y = 15 ⇒ y = 15 - x

<u>Substituting y in the first equation:</u>

  • 8x + 5y = 96
  • 8x + 5(15 - x) = 96
  • 8x + 75 - 5x = 96
  • 3x = 96 - 75
  • 3x = 21
  • x = 7

Correct option is the second one
