So you want to make one of the equations equal to one of the placeholders exg y=x+3
so we have
x+y=2 and
-2x+y=2
I chose to make -2x+y=2 equal to y so
-2x+y=2
add 2x to both sides
y=2+2x
subsitute 2+2x for y in x+y=2
x+2+2x=2
add like terms
3x+2=2
subtract 2 from both sides
3x=0
x=0
subsitute x=0 in x+y=2
0+y=2
y=2
x=0
y=2
6.8/5 = 1.36
1.36 x 8 = 10.88
This means that the cost of an adult is $10.88
Answer:
$13.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Amount to spend on gifts = $30
Number of gifts to purchase = 3
Amount spent on gift A = $9 1/4
Amount spent on gift B = $6 4/5
Amount left to spend on gift C:
Total amount - (gift A + gift B)
$30 - ($9 1/4 + 6 4/5)
$30 - (37/4 + 34/5)
$30 - (185 - 136) / 20
$30 - 321 / 20
30 - 16.05
$13.95
