A solution can be found using substitution by substituting the ordered pair into both of the original equations.
Answer:
Congress
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = cost of one cheese pizza.
Let y = cost of one pepperoni pizza.
Set up a system of equations.
6x + 7y = 153.50
2x + 2y = 47.00.
Multiply the second equation by -3
6x + 7y = 153.50
-6x - 6y = -141.00.
Add the equations together
y = $12.00.
Plug 12 into one of our original equations.
2x + 2(12) = 47.
Simplify the left side.
2x + 24 = 47.
Subtract 24 from each side.
2x = 23.
Divide each side by 2
x = $11.50
In conclusion, one pepperoni pizza costs $12.00
A. The independent variable is time, as time is manipulating the value of her salary.
b. The dependent variable is her cost because what she charges for babysitting depends on how long she works.
c. y = 8x
y = how much she charges for this job
8 = the amount she charges per hour
x = number of hours babysat
