X + y = 46
x = y + 12
y + 12 + y = 46
2y + 12 = 46
2y = 46 - 12
2y = 34
y = 34/2
y = 17
x = y + 12
x = 17 + 12
x = 29
so ur 2 numbers are : 29 and 17
Ok lets say
popcorn = x and
drinks = y
Jacob: 2x + 3y = 18.25
Zachary: 4x + 2y = 27.50
ok now you have to use these 2 equations to get the answer
4x + 2y = 27.50 ---> 2y = 27.50 - 4x ---> y = 13.75 - 2x
2x + 3y = 18.25
2x + 3(13.75-2x) = 18.25
2x + 41.25 - 6x = 18.25
-4x + 41.25 = 18.25
-4x = -23
x = 5.75 <u><em>One bag of popcorn is $5.75</em></u><em />
4x + 2y = 27.50
4(5.75) + 2y = 27.50
23 + 2y = 27.50
2y = 4.50
y = 2.25 <u><em>One drink is $2.25</em></u><em />
Y=1 1/4(1.25)x +9, add 8x to each side and then divide each side by 6
($16.25×40)+($16.25×1.5×3)= $650 + 73.13 = $723.13
*regular hrs *overtime hrs
**multiplying the regular wage of $16.25 times 1.5 gives you the overtime, or time and a half, rate.
