Solve the following systems algebraically a. x+2y=17 x-y=2

There are 3 methods to solve this. elimination substitution and graphing but i am going to use the elimination method.
  x+2y=17
 <u> x-y   =2
</u> 0+3y  =15   ( subtracted down to eliminate the x)( x-x=0, 2y-(-y)=3y, and 17-2=15)
     3y=15    (divide both sides by 3 to solve for y)
      y=5
<u>substitute the y=5 in any of the above equations and solve for x
ie... ( </u>meaning where you find y in the equation, u replace it with a 5)

it will be easier to solve for x in (x-y=2) so i will use that one.
x-(5)=2  ( add 5 on both sides to solve for x)
x=7

if 3 half-gallon containers of ice cream on sale for $6.69,what is the price for 2 half-gallon containers?​
kvv77 [185]
<h3>Answer:  $4.46</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

3 containers = 6.69 dollars

3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 container = 2.23 dollars

2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2

2 containers = 4.46 dollars

A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3

Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.
