Let, the cost of 1 piece of fudge = x
Cost of a gum = y
System of equations: 5x + 3y = 5.70
2x + 10y = 3.60
Multiply 1st equation by 2, and second by 5,
New equations: 10x + 6y = 11.40
10x + 50y = 18
Now, subtract 1st from 2nd,
44y = 6.60
y = 6.60 / 44
y = 0.15
Substitute it in second equation,
2x + 10(0.15) = 3.60
2x = 3.60 - 1.5
x = 2.10 / 2
x = 1.05
In short, Cost of a Fudge = $1.05 & Cost of a gum = $0.15
Hope this helps!
(9x)/7
let me break it down...
there were 9 containers.....each container had x number of strawberries....thats the 9x
divided by 7.....divided by the number of friends.
so the 7 stands for the total number of friends
Example of Phase of matter that show how characteristics of matter find application in our daily life??
No solution because when you plug in the variables for x y and z none of them equal that correct number.
