Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let us denote Angela's saving by "x".

  If Eli's saving is $8 more than one-third of Angela's saving, then Eli's saving   is:

 [(1/3 × x) + 8 = x/3 + 8]

 We will make x/3 + 8 to have a common denominator:

 x/3 + 8 = (x+24)/3

 

 If Eli and Angela each saved $10 more, then their respective savings would have been:

(x+24)/3  +  10 for Eli

x+10 for Angela.

At this savings, Eli would have been $4 richer than Angela.

i.e   [((x + 24)/3) + 10] -  (x+10) = $4

 We will make [(x+24)/3] + 10 to have common denominator.

(x + 24 + 30)/3

= (x + 54)/3

 Then:

  [(x+54)/3]  -  [(x+10)/1] = 4

   [x+54-(3x+30)]/3 = 4/1

    (-2x + 24)/3 = 4

 

    cross multiply

  -2x + 24 = 12

    -2x = -12

       x = -12/-2

       x = 6

  Since Eli's saving = x/3 + 8

Then his actual saving

  = 6/3 + 8

  = 2 + 8

  = $10

Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.

A for Angela and E for ELi

So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8, that is, <em>one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings</em>

From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that <em>if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.</em>

So, we can solve both equations;

Equation 1: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8

Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14

and then E = A + 4

The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.

Let us carry out this operation to <u>eliminate the E:</u> Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;

A + 4 - ( \frac{1}{3}A + 8) = E - E

\frac{2}{3}A - 4 = 0

\frac{2}{3}A = 4

A = 4 × \frac{3}{2} = 6

So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10

So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.

If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.

Solve this system using elimination (20 POINTS)<br> 4x-7y=3<br> x-7y=-15
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 6, y =3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-7y=3

x-7y=-15

Multiply the first equation by -1

-4x+7y=-3

Then add this to the second equation to eliminate y

-4x+7y=-3

x-7y=-15

------------------

-3x +0y = -18

-3x = -18

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -18/-3

x = 6

Now find y

x -7y = -15

6 -7y = -15

Subtract 6 from each side

6-7y-6 = -15-6

-7y = -21

Divide by -7

-7y/-7 = -21/-7

y =3
