I'm pretty sure that u multiply 12 and 5 and u get 60 and that's in only one box just 60lbs then u find how many pounds in a ton which is 2,000 then u have 3 tons so multiple 2,000 and 3 and u get 6,000 so then u divide 60 and 6,000 and u get 100 I'm pretty sure that's how u do it

3tons=6,000pounds
12×5=60
6,000÷60= 100

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination.

sweet [91]

Answer:

The solutions to the system of the equations by the elimination method will be:

$x=2,\:z=-1,\:y=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of the equations

$2x\:+\:2y\:+z\:=\:7$

$-x-\:y\:+z\:=\:-5$

$x+3y-4z=12$

solving the system of the equations by the elimination method

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ -x-y+z=-5\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}-x-y+z=-5\mathrm{\:by\:}2\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:-2x-2y+2z=-10$

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ -2x-2y+2z=-10\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}$

$-2x-2y+2z=-10$

$+$

$\underline{2x+2y+z=7}$

$3z=-3$

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 3z=-3\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}$

$2x+6y-8z=24$

$-$

$\underline{2x+2y+z=7}$

$4y-9z=17$

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 3z=-3\\ 4y-9z=17\end{bmatrix}$

Rearranging the equations

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 4y-9z=17\\ 3z=-3\end{bmatrix}$

solve $3z=-3$ for z:

$z=-1$

$\mathrm{For\:}4y-9z=17\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}z=-1$

solve $4y-9\left(-1\right)=17$ for y:

$4y-9\left(-1\right)=17$

$4y+9=17$

$4y=8$

$y=2$

$\mathrm{For\:}2x+2y+z=7\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}z=-1,\:y=2$

solve $2x+2\cdot \:2-1=7$ for x:

$2x+2\cdot \:2-1=7$

$2x+3=7$

$2x=4$

$x=2$

Therefore, the solutions to the system of the equations by the elimination method will be:

$x=2,\:z=-1,\:y=2$

I can't read it very well but one equation might be

2x + 8 = 3x - 12

Apples went up 0.75 a lb

p is the start price so new price is p + 0.75

we buy 3 lbs

3 ( p+ 0.75) = 5.88

now solve

3p + 2.25 = 5.88

-2.25 -2.25

3p = 3.63

/3 /3

p = 1.21 a lb
