3x + 2y = 10 .....multiply by -2
2x + 3y = 15/2...multiply by 3
------------------
-6x - 4y = -20 (result of multiplying by -2)
6x + 9y = 22.5 (result of multiplying by 3)
-----------------add
5y = 2.5
y = 2.5/5
y = 1/2
3x + 2y = 10
3x + 2(1/2) = 10
3x + 1 = 10
3x = 10 - 1
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
solution is (3,-1/2)
Alberto and 9 of his friends went out to eat.
1 + 9 = 10
So there are 10 people in total.
Each person paid the same amount, $18.
18 × 10 = 180
The total bill was $180.
<em><u>Answer: x=-2 *The answer should be the negative sign.*</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
remove parenthesis
-15x-15*4=-30
15*4=60
-15x-60=-30
add 60 both sides of an equation.
-15x-60+60=-30+60
simplify.
-15x=30
divide by -15 both sides of an equation.
-15x/-15=30/-15
simplify.
30/15=2
x=-2
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
