$2\sqrt5+3\sqrt5-\sqrt5=/2x+3x-x=4x/=4\sqrt5$

A local sorority sold hot dogs and bratwursts at the spring fling picnics. The first day they sold 8 dozen hot dogs and 13 dozen

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

1 hot dog costs $0.75

1 bratwurst costs $1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the price per dozen of hot dogs and bratwursts respectively.

The first day they sold 8 dozen hot dogs and 13 dozen bratwursts for $282.60

8x + 13y = 282.60

The second day they sold 10 dozen hot dogs and 15 dozen bratwursts for a total of $333.00

10x + 15y = 333

and we have the linear system

8x + 13y = 282.60

10x + 15y = 333

which can be written in matrix form as

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)$

The solution would be given by

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)^{-1}\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)$

We have

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)^{-1}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-3/2&13/10\\1&-4/5\end{array}\right)$

hence

$\bf \left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-3/2&13/10\\1&-4/5\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}9\\ 16.2\end{array}\right)$
