X - y = 4

-y = -x + 4

-y ÷ -1 = (-x ÷ -1) + (4 ÷ -1)

y = x - 4 (y equals the entire ending equation)

___________________

x - 2y = 10

-2y = -x + 10

-2y / -2 = (-x ÷ -2) + (10 ÷ -2)

y = 0.5x + -5 (y equals the entire ending equation)

x doesn't have an equality on these kinds of equations

3x-2y=13 and 2x+3y=-16
Marysya12 [62]
If youre trying to solve for the variables you have to solve for one of them in one equation first, so if you solved for x in 2x+3y=16 youd get x=8-(3/2)y. Then youd have to sub in that x for the x in the other equation so youd get 3(8-(3/2)y)-2y=13 then solve for y. Once you have the value of y it should be the same in both equations. Plug that new value of y into the equation of youre choosing then sove for x

-2m(m+n-4)+5(-2m+2n)+n(m+4n-5)
charle [14.2K]
Hello! And thank you for your question!

First we are going to expand the equation:

<span>−2<span>m^<span><span>​2</span><span>​​</span></span></span>−2mn+8m−10m+10n+nm+4<span>n<span><span>​^2</span><span>​​</span></span></span>−5n

Then we are going to combine like terms:

</span><span><span>−2<span>m<span><span>​^2</span><span>​​</span></span></span>+(−2mn+mn)+(8m−10m)+(10n−5n)+4<span>n<span><span>​^2</span><span>​​</span></span></span></span>
</span>
Then finally, simplify:

−2<span>m<span><span>​^2</span><span>​​</span></span></span>−mn−2m+5n+4<span>n<span>​^<span>2

Final Answer:
</span></span></span>
−2m​^2​​−mn−2m+5n+4n​^2

Mandy can buy 4 containers of yogurt and 3 boxes of crackers for $9.55. She can buy 2 containers of yogurt and 2 boxes of cracke
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The cost of a box of crackers is $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a containers of yogurt is $x and cost of a box of crackers is $y.

It is given that Mandy can buy 4 containers of yogurt and 3 boxes of crackers for $9.55.

4x+3y=9.55              .... (1)

She can buy 2 containers of yogurt and 2 boxes of crackers for $5.90.

2x+2y=5.90              .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2), using graphing calculator, we get

x=0.7

y=2.25

Therefore the cost of a box of crackers is $2.25.
