At a fabric store, fabrics are sold by the yard. A dressmaker spent $36.35 on 4.25 yards of silk and cotton fabrics for a dress.

Silk is $16.90 per yard and cotton is $4 per yard. Here is a system of equations that represent the constraints in the situation. x + y = 4.25 16.90x + 4y = 36.35 Find the solutions to the system of equations. Explain or show your reasoning

Given:

The system of equations that represent the constraints for the given situation is

x+y=4.25

16.90x+4y=36.35

To find:

The solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

We have,

x+y=4.25           ...(i)

16.90x+4y=36.35           ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 4.

4x+4y=17           ...(iii)

Subtracting (iii) from (ii), we get

16.90x+4y-(4x+4y)=36.35-17

16.90x+4y-4x-4y=19.35

12.90x=19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90.

x=\dfrac{19.35}{12.90}

x=1.5

Put this value in (i).

1.5+y=4.25

y=4.25-1.5

y=2.75

The solution of system of equations is x=1.5 and y=2.75. It means, the yards of silk are 1.5 and yards of cotton are 2.75.

Igoryamba

Answer:

The equation is

15x = 610

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is 10 cents while a nickel is 5 cents

$6.10 is same as 610 cents

Let the number of dimes and number of nickels be x

10x + 5x = 610

15x = 610
