Answer:
Percentage
Step-by-step explanation:
For the entirety of this problem, p will represent a pair of pants and b will represent a bracelet.
Step 1) Set up equations for Destiny and Guadalupe
Destiny: 178 = 2p + 6b
Guadalupe: 155 = 3p + 2b
I will be using substitution to solve this problem, but elimination can also be used.
Step 2) Solve Destiny's equation for p
178 = 2p + 6b
178 - 6b = 2p
89 - 3b = p
Step 3) Substitute the found value of p from Destiny's equation into Guadalupe's equation and solve for b
155 = 3(89 - 3b) + 2b
155 = 267 - 9b + 2b
155 = 267 - 7b
-7b = -112
b = 16
Step 4) Use the value of b found in step 3, plug that back into our equation from step 2 and solve for p
89 - 3(16) = p
89 - 48 = p
p = 41
one pair of pants = $16
one bracelet = $41
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
10x + 6y
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t = length of the third side
3x + 4y + 5x - y + t = 18x + 9y
8x + 3y + t = 18x + 9y
t = 10x + 6y
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
d) The system can only be dependent and consistent.
Explanation:
In order for the solution to a system of equations to be a line, this means that the lines must lie on top of one another. This means they are the same line; the system is consistent since there is at least one solution, and dependent since all of the points in one equation work for the other equations as well.
