Maya had $27. She spent all the money on buying 3 burgers for $x each and 2 sandwiches for $y each. If Maya would have bought 2

burgers and 1 sandwich, she would have been left with $11. A student concluded that the price of each burger is $5 and the price of each sandwich is $6. Which statement best justifies whether the student's conclusion is correct or incorrect?
The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 2y = 11 and 2x + y = 16 is (5, 6).
b. The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 3x - 2y = 11 and 2x - y = 16 is (5, 6).
c. The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 2y = 27 and 2x + y = 16 is (5, 6).
d. The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 2x + 3y = 27 and x + 2y = 16 is (5, 6).

Answer:

Option C

The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x+2y=27  and 2x+y=16 is (5,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the cost of each burger

y-----> the cost of each sandwich

we know that

3x+2y=27 -----> equation A

2x+y=(27-11)

2x+y=16 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations

Multiply the equation B by -2

-2(2x+y)=-2*16 ----->-4x-2y=-32 ------> equation C

Adds equation A and equation C

3x+2y=27 \\-4x-2y=-32\\ ----------\\ 3x-4x=27-32\\ -x=-5\\x=5

Substitute the value of x in the equation B

2(5)+y=16

10+y=16

y=6

The solution of the system of equations is the point (5,6)

so

The price of each burger is \$5

The price of each sandwich is \$6

2 less than four times a number is equal to twice a number increase by 8 write an equation and solve to find the value of x
Tom [10]
4x - 2 = 2x + 8
2x -2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5

4(5)-2 = 2(5)+8
20-2 = 10+8
18 = 18

How do I do the problem 6(n+4)-4
Naddik [55]

Answer:

3n+10

Step-by-step explanation:

6(n+4)-4

PEMDAS

start with parenthesizes

6 x n = 6n

6 x 4 = 24

so we have

6n+24-4

subtract the 4

6n+20

simplify by dividing by common factor

6n/2 =3n

20/2 =10

3n+10
