<em><u>Question:</u></em>
The equations in this system were added to solve for x. What is the value of x? -2x+y=8 5x-y=-5 3x=3
Options:
x = negative 3
x = negative 1
x = 1
x = 3
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
The value of x is 1
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
-2x + y = 8 ------- eqn 1
5x - y = -5 ------- eqn 2
The above equations are added to solve for "x"
Add eqn 1 and eqn 2
-2x + y + 5x - y = 8 - 5
Combine the like terms
-2x + 5x + y - y = 3
Add the like terms
3x + 0 = 3
3x = 3
Divide both sides of equation by 3
x = 1
Thus the value of x is 1

A recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings
A) How many cups of flour are there in 6 servings? 1 1/2 cups
How many cups of flour are there per serving? Show your work. (2 pts)
1 1/2 ÷ 6 = 3/2 x 1/6 = 3/12 = 1/4 cups for 1 serving
b) How many total cups or sugar (white and brown) are there in 6 servings?
3/4 + 1/3 = 9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12
How many cups of sugar are there per serving? Show your work. (2 pts)
1 1/12 ÷ 6 = 13/12 x 1/6 = 13/72 cups of white and brown sugar
c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 8 servings. How much more flour do you need if you already have enough for 6 servings. Show your work. (2 pts)
Flour for 6 servings = 1 1/2 cups
Flour for 1 serving = 1/4 cups
Flour for 8 servings = 1/4 x 8/1 = 8/4 = 2 cups for 8 servings
the correct answer is A
need to solve for Y using X =0 and plot all the points
