Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-8<=23
3x<=23+8
3x< =31
X<Or = 10.3
-4x+26>=6
-4x>=-20
X>=5
For this case we have to:
x: Let the variable representing the unknown number
We algebraically rewrite the given expression:
Twice a number plus 10, is represented as:
Three times that number less 4. is represented as:
Thus, the complete expression is:
Subtracting 3x from both sides of the inequality:
Subtracting 10 from both sides of the inequality:
Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed:
We multiply by -1 on both sides, taking into account that the sense of inequality changes:
The solution is given by all values of "x" less than 14.
