(a) need to find the number of books, we'll call it "b". then the money (6w) minus the cost of books (17b) equals change left over (w)
6w - 17b = w
6w - w = 17b
5w = 17b
(5/17)w = b
(b) if w = 34
(5/17) *34 = b
10 = b
Answer:
Infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
2x−7y=12 (1)
−x+3.5y=−6 (2)
(2) x = 3.5y + 6
(1) 2(3.5y+6) - 7y = 12
7y + 12 - 7y = 12
12 = 12 (a true statement)
Since the variable got eliminated and we got a true statement, the system has infinitely many solutions.
One of the solutions:
(6,0)
Answer: 143 hamburgers and 429 cheese burgers
Explanation:
Call h and c the number of both items.
(h-hamburger and c-cheeseburger)
h + c = 572
c = 3h
Sub the second into the first
h + 3h = 572
4h = 572
Divide both sides by 4
h = 143 hamburgers
Use this back into the second equation
c = 3 • 143 = 429 cheeseburgers
