Just distribute the 3. 3(x + 4y) = 3x + 12y
3x + 12y is the answer.
Answer:
Adult plate = 21 , child plate = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
number of adult plate = a , no of child plate = c
$487 = $19a + $8c (equation 1)
32 = a + c (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 8 gets you:
256 = 8a + 8c (equation 3)
Solve equation 1 and equation 3 simultaneously:
487 = 19a + 8c (equation 1) minus
256 = 8a + 8c (equation 3) :
231 = 11a
a = 231/11
a= 21
Substitute a = 21 into equation 2 :
32 = 21 + c
c = 32 - 21
c = 11
So 21 adult plates and 11 child plates were sold.
