For the entirety of this problem, p will represent a pair of pants and b will represent a bracelet.

Step 1) Set up equations for Destiny and Guadalupe

Destiny: 178 = 2p + 6b

Guadalupe: 155 = 3p + 2b

I will be using substitution to solve this problem, but elimination can also be used.

Step 2) Solve Destiny's equation for p

178 = 2p + 6b

178 - 6b = 2p

89 - 3b = p

Step 3) Substitute the found value of p from Destiny's equation into Guadalupe's equation and solve for b

155 = 3(89 - 3b) + 2b

155 = 267 - 9b + 2b

155 = 267 - 7b

-7b = -112

b = 16

Step 4) Use the value of b found in step 3, plug that back into our equation from step 2 and solve for p

89 - 3(16) = p

89 - 48 = p

p = 41

one pair of pants = $16

one bracelet = $41

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point 7,-3 and has a slope of -5
Oksana_A [137]
So i’m not sure about this but you would do the y=mx+b form and then since slope = m it would be y=-5x+b and then you would plug 7 and -3 for y and x and then you would get 7=-5-3=b and then solve for b

Y= 3x+7<br> y = -2x - 3<br> Whats the x and y for the solution
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

x=-2, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x+7

y=-2x+3

Set the two equations equal to each other:

3x+7=-2x-3

Add 2x to both sides:

5x+7=-3

Subtract 7 from both sides:

5x=-10

Divide both sides by 5:

x=-2

Plug back into one of the original equations to find y:

y=3(-2)+7=-15+7=1

Hope this helps!
