Answer:

Cost of 1 DVD is $6.5

Cost of one CD is $4.5

Combine cost of one DVD and CD is $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Kate bought 3 used CDs and 1 used DVD at the bookstore.

Her friend Joel bought 2 used CDs and 2 used DVDs at the same store.

Kate spent $20

Joel spent $22

To Find :  the cost of a used CD and a used DVD

Solution :

Let cost of 1 used CDs be $x

Let cost of 1 used DVDs be $y

Cost of 3 used CDs = $3x

Cost of 2 used CDs = $2x

Cost of 2 used DVDs = $2y

Kate bought 3 used CDs and 1 used DVD at the bookstore.

She spent $20

So, equation becomes :

⇒3x+y=20 ---(a)

Joel bought 2 used CDs and 2 used DVDs. she spent $22.

So, equation becomes:

⇒2x+2y=22 --(b)

Now solve (a) and (b) to determine the value of x and y

We will use substitution method

Substitute the value of x from (b) in (a)

3(\frac{22-2y}{2} )+y=20

33-3y+y=20

33-2y=20

33-20=2y

13=2y

\frac{13}{2} =y

6.5 =y

Thus cost of 1 DVD is $6.5

Now substitute this value of y in b to get value of x

⇒2x+2(6.5)=22

⇒2x+13=22

⇒2x=22-13

⇒2x=9

⇒x=\frac{9}{2}

⇒x=4.5

Thus the cost of one CD is $4.5

Hence the combine cost of one DVD and CD =  $6.5+ $4.5=$11

The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation an
masha68 [24]

<span>Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:</span>

<span>
</span>

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line

(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.

The sum of two numbers is 66. Two times the smaller number is 15 more than the larger number. What are the numbers?
Rudiy27

Here is the set up:

Let x and y be the two numbers with x the smaller and y the larger number.

x + y = 66

2x = y + 15

We have two equations in two unknowns.

Take it from here.
