Begin solving like you normally would. Add 2.25 to both sides and subtract 9x from both sides to try getting all x values on one side. However, you will find that after subtracting 9x from both sides, all x values go away, and you end with -2.25=1.6. This is not true (-2.25 is not 1.6), so the answer is no solution. There is no value of x which satisfies that equation.
Answer:
3. The first equation can be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x + 3 y = 25 (1)
-3 x + 4 y = 22 (2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and (2) by 2.
3(2x) = 6x
2(-3x) = -6x
When you add the two equations, x will get cancelled last
Take the price of pears (£1.30 per kilogram) and multiply it by the amount of pears (7kg). You get 9.1 so now you take the total amount spent (£12.70) and subtract the 9.1 and you get 3.6 now that is the amount you spent on the apples. So take 3.6 and divide it by the amount of apples you got (2kg) you will get 1.8 and that is your overall answer.
