on Monday joe bought 10 cups of coffee and 5 doughnuts for his his office at the cost of $16.50. It turns out that the doughnuts
were more popular than the office. On Tuesday he bough 5 cups of coffee and 10 doughnuts for a total of 14.25. How much was each cup of coffee
1 answer:
X= be coffee
Y=be donuts
Set up equations
10x+5y=16.50
5x+10y=14.25
Now multiply first equation by -2 to get a negative
(-2)10x+5y(-2)=16.50(-2)
-20x-10y=-33
Now put both equations to solve for x
-20x-10y=-33
5x+10y=14.25
___________
-15x. = -18.75
Now divide -15 bith sides to get x alone
X= -18.75/-15
X= 1.25
The cost of each coffee cup$1.25

Red car: 25.6/0.80 =32 miles per gallon
You can easily see that the Red car travel farther on 1 gallon of gasoline.
Y = 3/4x - 5/2....subtract 3/4x from both sides
-3/4x + y = -5/2 ....multiply everything by common denominator of 4
-3x + 4y = -10
