Solve the system. x+3y=1 -2x+7=-23

1 answer:

5 0

X+ 3y = 1 -----(first equation)
-2x+7 = -23 ---(second equation)
-2x = -23-7
x = 30/2
x = 15

Now, Substitute the value of x in first equation,
15 + 3y = 1
3y = 1 - 15
y = -14/3

In short, Final Answers are: x = 15 & y = -14/3

Hope this helps!

Donata bought 3 Apples and 5 Pomegranites at the local supermarket for a total of $16.50 Meaghan bought 6 Apples and 11 Pomegran

Sati [7]

Answer: the cost of one apple is $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one apple.

Let y represent the cost of one Pomegranate.

Donata bought 3 Apples and 5 Pomegranates at the local supermarket for a total of $16.50. This means that

3x + 5y = 16.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Meaghan bought 6 Apples and 11 Pomegranates at the same store for a total of $35.70. This means that

6x + 11y = 35.7- - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

6x + 10y = 33

6x + 11y = 35.7

Subtracting, it becomes

- y = - 2.7

y = 2.7

Substituting y = 2.7 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 5 × 2.7 = 16.5

3x + 13.5 = 16.5

3x = 16.5 - 13.5 = 3

x = 3/3 = 1

Solve by elimination <br> -5x+8y=-27<br> -8x+7y=-20

Anika [276]

Answer:

x = -1 , y = -4

Step-by-step explanation by elimination:

Solve the following system:

{8 y - 5 x = -27 | (equation 1)

7 y - 8 x = -20 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)

-(5 x) + 8 y = -27 | (equation 2)

Subtract 5/8 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)

0 x+(29 y)/8 = (-29)/2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 8/29:

{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Subtract 7 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(8 x)+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -8:

{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -1 , y = -4

Sara has opened her own bakery, where customers can buy three chocolate chip cookies for $2.49. a. What is the unit price? b. Wh

inysia [295]

Answer:

a) $0.83

b) k = 1.205

c) In the context of this problem, k means

The number of chocolate chip cookies increases as the price increases because number of chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to its price

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara has opened her own bakery, where customers can buy three chocolate chip cookies for $2.49.

a. What is the unit price?

The unit price means the cost of 1 cookie

Hence:

3 chocolate chip cookies = $2.49

1 chocolate chip cookies = x

3x = $2.49 × 1

x = $2.49 × 1/3

x = $0.83

Hence, the unit price = $0.83

b. What is the constant of proportionality, or k?

Chocolate chip cookie ∝ Price

Chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to the Price

C = kP

Where k is constant of proportionality

k = Chocolate chip cookie/Price

k = C/P

Hence,

k = 3/2.49

k = 1.2048192771

k = 1.205

c. In a complete sentence, explain what k means in the context of this problem.

In the context of this problem, k means

The number of chocolate chip cookies increases as the price increases because number of chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to its price
