13x + 5y = 16
2x - 8y = 20

Multiply the equations;

13x + 5y = 16 [x2]
2x - 8y = 20 [x13]

26x + 20y = 32
26x - 104y = 260

Reverse the signs on one equation;

26x + 20y = 32
-26x + 104y = -260

'-26x' gets cancelled, leaving;

20y = 32
104y = -260

20y + 104y = 124y
32 - 260 = -228

124y = -228

y = -228 / 124

y = -1.84

Substitute in one equation and find 'x'. 

Hope this helped! :)

There were 75 roasted turkeys at Ally's Eats. Bob's Goods had 4/5 as many roasted turkeys as Ally's Eats. If Ally's Eats had 5/6
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

75 roasted turkeys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ally's Eats had 75 roasted turkeys.

Bob's Goods had 4/5 as many roasted turkeys as Ally's Eats, hence, the number of roasted turkeys Bob's Goods had is:

4/5 * 75 = 60 roasted turkeys

Ally's Eats had 5/6 as many roasted turkeys as Charlotte's Market. In other words, Charlotte's market had 6/5 as many roasted turkeys as Ally's Eats:

6/5 * 75 = 90 roasted turkeys.

The average is given as the sum of all toasted turkeys in the three shops divided by 3. Hence:

A = (75 + 60 + 90) / 3

A = 225 / 3 = 75 roasted turkeys

The average number of roasted turkeys in the three shops is 75.
