Answer:
1. x = 8
2. y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Plug the function
5x + 20(0.50) = 50
= 5x + 10 = 50
Subtract 10 from both side
= 5x = 40
Divide 5 on both sides
= x = 8
2. Plug in the function
5(8) + 20y = 50
= 40 + 20y = 50
Subtract 40 on both sides
= 20y = 10
Divide 20 both sides
= y = 10/20 | 1/2
X=29 and y=10
You would isolate one of the variables and then plug the expression into the other equation to find the value of one variable. Then you would plug this value into the other equation to determine the value of the remaining variable.
300 dollars would be the independent variable and 50 dollars a week is dependent
You can make a table like this:
If 1 bag=5 pounds
Then 6 bags must equal six times the weight of the first bag
5 times 6=30
Your answer is reasonable because 5+5+5+5+5+5=30
a.k.a
=5 =30
