Mrs. Beach bought shells at a gift shop. The red shells (r) were $0.75 each, and the white shells (w) were $0.49 each. The total

cost was $4.70 for 8 shells. Later, the clerk forgot how many of each color shell he sold, so he guessed 4 red and 4 white shells. That was 8 shells, but the cost was $4.96. What advice would you give the clerk for his next guess?

Answer: The cost was too high. Since red shells cost more than white shells, the clerk’s next guess should be fewer red shells and more white shells. I would guess 3 red shells and 5 white shells.

3 red shells equals $2.25 and 5 white shells equal 2.45. Add those together and you get $4.70.
So 3 red and 5 white shells would be the next guess.

Find the solution to the system of equations.
harina [27]

Answer:

x=2

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=−2x+7

y=5x−7

Set the two equations equal since they are both equal to y

−2x+7 =5x−7

Add 2x to each side

-2x+7+2x = 5x-7+2x

7 = 7x-7

Add 7 to each side

7+7 = 7x-7+7

14 =7x

Divide by 7

14/7 = 7x/7

2 =x

Now find 7

y = 5x-7

y = 5(2) -7

y = 10-7

y = 3
