Answer:

x + y = 125

3.50x + 2.25y = 347.50

53 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations

so basically if we say that rolls are represented by x and wrapping paper is represented by y, we can say x plus y is 125 because there are a total of 125 rolls and packages. if each roll is 3.50 and each package is 2.25, we can just put each number in front of the corresponding variable to show that each one is worth that amount, and they total to 347.50. then you have to solve the system of equations. so if you solve for x in the first equation, x = 125 - y. so plug that in to the next equation, 3.50(125 - y) + 2.25y = 347.50. solve for y and you get 72.

but y is the number of packages, and we want the number of rolls. there are 125 rolls and packages, so 125 minus the 72 packages and you get 53 rolls

7x+3y=8<br> 3x-4y=14<br> solve by elimination method
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

{x,y} = {2,-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Linear Equations entered :

  [1]    7x + 3y = 8

  [2]    3x - 4y = 14

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

   3y + 7x = 8        -4y + 3x = 14  

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  x  

 

 [2]    3x = 4y + 14

 [2]    x = 4y/3 + 14/3

// Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

  [1]    7•(4y/3+14/3) + 3y = 8

  [1]    37y/3 = -74/3

  [1]    37y = -74

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

  [1]    37y = - 74  

  [1]    y = - 2  

// By now we know this much :

   x = 4y/3+14/3

   y = -2

// Use the  y  value to solve for  x  

  x = (4/3)(-2)+14/3 = 2

Solution :

{x,y} = {2,-2}

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3
crimeas [40]

Answer:

To write an equation in slope-intercept form, given a graph of that equation, pick two points on the line and use them to find the slope. This is the value of m in the equation. Next, find the coordinates of the y-intercept--this should be of the form (0, b). The y- coordinate is the value of b in the equation.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

area = (1/2)|Ax(By-Cy) +Bx(Cy-Ay) +Cx(Ay-By)|

 = (1/2)|2(3-6) +3(6-1) +1(1-3)| = (1/2)|-6 +15 -2|

 area = 7/2
