Step-by-step explanation:
Mom gave $ 320 to each girl
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that Lily and Elsa are both college students
Before mom gave them this months allowance lily had $750 and Elsa had &215
<em><u>So amount with Lily and Elsa already is:</u></em>
amount with Lily = $ 750
amount with Elsa = $ 215
After mom gave each girl an equal amount of money for this months allowance, lily had twice as much money as Elsa
Let "a" be the equal amount of money which mom gave to Lily and Elsa
<em><u>So now amount with Lily and Elsa after mom gave equal amount is:</u></em>
amount with Lily = amount with Lily already + a
amount with Lily = 750 + a
amount with Elsa = amount with Elsa already + a
amount with Elsa = 215 + a
<em><u>Now given that lily had twice as much money as Elsa</u></em>
Amount with lily = 2(amount with elsa)
750 + a = 2(215 + a)
750 + a = 430 + 2a
2a - a = 750 - 430
a = 320
Thus mom gave $ 320 to each girl
Dude doesn’t x basically equal 8 X=8 ? Or am I just wrong
To solve a system of equation by elimination, the coefficients of the same variable of both equations must be equal. In this case, let's choose y.
In order to make the coefficient of y of the second equation be equal to 7, we divide it by 2. Resulting to:
2x - 7y = -34
Next, add the two solutions so that the y term is eliminated. The result is:
10x = 5
Then solve for x
x = 1/2
Substitute x to either of the solution to solve for y. The result is:
y = 5
