Answer:
x= 5/4 ; y= -7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I will solve your system by substitution.
(You can also solve this system by elimination.)
3x+y=2;5x−y=8
Step: Solve3x+y=2for y:
3x+y+−3x=2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)
y=−3x+2
Step: Substitute−3x+2foryin5x−y=8:
5x−y=8
5x−(−3x+2)=8
8x−2=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
8x−2+2=8+2(Add 2 to both sides)
8x=10
8x
8
=
10
8
(Divide both sides by 8)
x=

4
Step: Substitute

forxiny=−3x+2:
y=−3x+2
y=−3(

)+2
y=
−7

(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=

Answer: 54.17
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is contradictory, because it is said that every member of the family gives a gift to every other member of the family. And from 10 members, there are just 2 exchanging. Anyway, maybe they are only 2 members exchanging the gifts at that point in time.
So, each member will exchange 9 gifts (that is 10 members total minus herself), and 2 members are exchanging gifts at that point, so 18 gifts are being exchanged.
I think the next one is,65.0
The answers is correct yes
