Answer:

x = 3 and y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

using substitution method

let;

2x + 3y = 3 ................ equation 1

x + 2y = 1 ...................... equation 2

from equation 2

x + 2y = 1 ...................... equation 2

x = 1 - 2y .................... equation 3

substitute  for  x = 1 - 2y  in equation 1

2x + 3y = 3 ................ equation 1

2 ( 1 - 2y) + 3y = 3

Open the bracket  

2 -4y + 3y = 3

2 - y = 3

-y = 3 - 2

-y = 1

multiply both sides by -

therefore y = -1

put y = -1 in equation 3

x = 1 - 2y .................... equation 3

x = 1 - 2 ( -1)

x = 1 + 2

x = 3

therefore x = 3 and y = -1

to check for the correctness of your answer put the value of x = 3 and y = -1 in any of the equations. e.g

x = 1 - 2y .................... equation 3

3 = 1 - 2(-1)

3= 3................................. proved

Where does the point (0, - 3) lie?
gregori [183]

An ordered pair is written like this, ( x, y ). In this case x = 0 and y = -3. On a graph the vertical line is the y-axis and the horizontal line is the x-axis. The origin is point ( 0, 0 ). To the left of the origin on the x-axis is the negative number line and to the right is the positive number line. On the y-axis, south of the origin is the negative number line and north is the positive number line. When you plot a point on a graph you do x first, so if x equals 1, you would move one right, -1, one left. IF y were to equal 2 then from the place where you are on the x-axis, 1, you would move two up, -2, two down. In this case x = 0 so you would stay at the origin, and y = -3 so you would move 3 down. So ( 0, -3 ) would lie negative y-axis. The answer is D.

Karla has spent $42 on food. She bought milk, cheese, and meat. The milk cost half as much as the cheese and the meat cost four
Alina [70]

M = milk

C= cheese

X=meat

milk = 0.5c

meat = 4c

cheese = 1c

<span>4 +0.5 = 1c  = 5.5c</span>

 

C= 42/5.5 = 7.64

X = 7.64 x 4 = 30.56

M =7.64 * 0.5 = 4.67

 

30.56 + 3.82 + 7.64 = approximately $42
