Answer: x=-5 and y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2y = 21 ............ Eq 1

-4x + y = 23 .............. Eq2

In eq 2,let's make y the subject of the formula ; add 4x to both sides to get : - 4x + 4x + y = 23 + 4x

Which gives: y = 23 + 4x .... Eq3

Put this value of y into eq 1 to get;

-3x + 2(23 + 4x) = 21

Which gives: - 3x + 46 + 8x = 21

Which givea; 5x + 46 = 21

Subtract 46 from both sides to get;

5x + 46 - 46 = 21 - 46 to get

5x = - 25

Divide both sides by 5;

5x/5 = - 25/5

Therefore, x = - 5

Now,put - 5 for x in Eq3;

y = 23 + 4(-5)

y = 23 - 20

y = 3

Therefore the solution to the question is x=-5 and y=3

Answer:

2y = 3x + 21

y = 1.5x + 10.5

plug in, in the second equation

- 4x + (1.5x + 10.5) = 23

-4x + 1.5x + 10.5 = 23

-2.5x + 10.5 = 23

-2.5x = 12.5

x = 12.5/-2.5 = -5

y = 1.5 (-5) + 10.5 = 3

x = -5

y = 3

Brenda and her best friend went on a vacation together. They both paid for a flight, and Brenda had a fancy room for $150 per ni
Mila [183]

Answer:

A. 2x + 150y = 1,500

   2x + 120y = 1,320

The flights were $300 each, and they stayed 6 nights.

B. $1,380

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of the flight (in one side) and y be the number of nights on their vacation.

A. Brenda had a fancy room for $150 per night, then she paid $150y for y nights.  Brenda's total is $1,500, then

150y+2x=1,500

Brenda's friend had a smaller room for $120 per night, then she paid $120y for y nights.  Brenda's friend total is $1,320, then

120y+2x=1,320

Subtract two equations:

150y+2x-120y-2x=1,500-1,320\\ \\30y=180\\ \\y=6

Substitute into the first equation:

150\cdot 6+2x=1,500\\ \\900+2x=1,500\\ \\2x=600\\ \\x=300

Hence

2x + 150y = 1,500

2x + 120y = 1,320

The flights were $300 each, and they stayed 6 nights.

B. If a third friend joined them and stayed in a mid-range room for $130 per night, then he paid \$130\cdot 6=\$780

The total cost is

\$780+\$600=\$1,380
