Solve the following word problem by using a system of equations.

For this problem, we can use systems of equations. I will use the variables <em>x </em> (for ice-cream) and <em>y</em> (for soda). We get the system:

2.25x+0.75y=30.00
x+y=18

Putting the second equation in terms of y, we get that y=-x+18. We can substitute this into our first equation.

2.25x+0.75y=30.00
becomes
2.25x+0.75(-x+18)=30

Solving for x, we get that x=11. This satisfies answer B.

However, if you want to check to see if this is correct, you could find y by plugging in your value of x into the first equation, then check to see if your found values satisfy BOTH equations.

2.25(11)+0.75y=30
24.75+0.75y=30
0.75y=5.25
y=7

Then we plug this into both equations to see if they are true.

2.25(11)+0.75(7)=30
24.75+5.25=30
30=30 (This is true)

x+y=18
11+7=18
18=18 (This is true).

Both equations are true, so the value for x and y are correct. We see that only answer B is supported through analyzing your work.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

available is 111.5cm tall and Olivia is 88.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so Olivia is half the height of Luca which means the height of Luca divided by 2

177÷2=88.5

so Olivia is 88.5cm tall

we know that Available is 23cm taller than Olivia which means

the height Available= the height of Olivia+ 23cm

=88.5+23

=111.5

so Available is 111.5cm tall

The slope of the line, is the one with an variable, in this case x. The other value, 27.52, is the y intercept, which would represent how much money he began with. So the variable 17.63x represents how much he could expect to make per week. We know it is per week because there is only a single x, if there were two x's it would be per 2 weeks, three x's per 3 weeks and so on.

From this we can conclude the answer is B, Aidan can expect to save about $17.63 each week
