Answer: The cost of each chair is $1.5 and the cost of each table is $10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent the first statement by the equation 2x + 5y = 53 where x is the cost of a chair and y is the cost of a table.

The second statement can also be represented by the equation

8x + 3y = 42

Using the equations

2x + 5y =53

8x + 3y = 42 solve for x and y

Solve by elimination. Eliminate the x variable by multiply the top equation by -4.

-4( 2x + 5y) = 53(-4) = -8x - 20y = -212

-8x -20y = -212 Add the equations

8x + 3y = 42

-17y = -170 Divide both sides by -17

y = 10

So we know each table cost $10 now input the value for y and solve for x.

8x + 3(10) = 42

8x + 30 = 42

-30 -30

8x = 12

x = 1.5

Each chair cost $1.5

Answer:

Solve the following system for x and y:

{2 x + 53 = 53, 8 x + 3 = 42}

Check whether x and y are present in the given system:

Answer: The variable y is not present. Therefore its value cannot be determined.

Answer:

1/8 cup left

Step-by-step explanation:

Starts with 7/8

Uses 1/2 which equals 4/8

Then uses another 1/4 which equals 2/8

4/8+2/8 is 6/8 so he uses 6/8 of olive oil

He has 7/8 and uses 6/8 so 7/8-6/8 quals 1/8

An equation is shown below: 1 over 2 multiplied by x plus 3 over 2 equals 2 to the power of x What is the solution to the equati

Alborosie

Answer:

First option is correct. The solution of the equation is x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}=2^x$

The value of x, which satisfy the above equation is the solution of the given equation.

Put x=1 in the given equation.

$\frac{1}{2}(1)+\frac{3}{2}=2^{1}$

$\frac{1+3}{2}=2$

$\frac{4}{2}=2$

$2=2$

Since left hand side is equal to right side, therefore first option is correct.

Put x=2 in the given equation.

$\frac{1}{2}(2)+\frac{3}{2}=2^{2}$

$\frac{2+3}{2}=4$

$\frac{5}{2}=4$

Since left hand side is not equal to right side, therefore second option is correct.

Put x=4 in the given equation.

$\frac{1}{2}(4)+\frac{3}{2}=2^{4}$

$\frac{4+3}{2}=16$

$\frac{7}{2}=16$

Since left hand side is not equal to right side, therefore third option is correct.

Put x=8 in the given equation.

$\frac{1}{2}(8)+\frac{3}{2}=2^{8}$

$\frac{8+3}{2}=256$

$\frac{11}{2}=256$

Since left hand side is not equal to right side, therefore fourth option is correct.

Please help solve 20 points.

Bond [772]

Answer: scroll down to find out :)

Step-by-step explanation:

This isn't a hard equation, so I would just use the points and figure something out.

Some obvious points are (3, 6), (6, 12), and (7, 14). Immediately, we notice that the y coordinate is 2 times the x coordinate.

So, the equation would be y = 2x.

<em>P.S. Let me know if I got it wrong! I'll be more than happy to fix it :)</em>
