Answer: One bag of peaches : $22

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for William and Sylvia.

  • <em>William: 2 p + 3 a = 17 </em>
  • <em>Silvia: 4p + 2 a =22 </em>

Where:

p = price of one bag of peaches

a= price of one bag of apricots

Solving for "a" in William's equation:

2p +3a =17

3a = 17-2p

a = (17-2p)/3

a= 17/3 -2/3 p

Replacing "a" in Silvia's equation

4p + 2 a =22

4p + 2 (17/3 -2/3p) =22

4p +34/3-4/3p =22

4p-4/3p =22-34/3

8/3 p =32/3

p =32/3 ÷8/3

p=4

ANSWER THIS QUESTION FAST AND I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLEST
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

{y,x} = {-6,-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

/ Solve equation [2] for the variable  y  

 [2]    y = 2x - 2

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

  [1]    (2x-2) - x = -4

  [1]    x = -2

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  x  

  [1]    x = - 2

// By now we know this much :

   y = 2x-2

   x = -2

// Use the  x  value to solve for  y  

   y = 2(-2)-2 = -6

I need to know how to do Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination
vredina [299]
The point of elimination is to have one variable so example

3x + 2y = 4

7X + 3y = 5


1) Try to find a way to have one variable

7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28

-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15


2) add

0 + 5y = 13

3) solve for the last variable

5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8

4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one

3x + 2(2.8) = 4

3x + 5.6 = 4

3x = -1.6

x = 0.533333333 (continue)

The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)

Hope you understand!!
