Answer:
Sitting fee - 32$
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a system of equations(let x represent the sitting fee)
x+6y=50
x+11y=65
You want to isolate the x variable - x+6y-6y=50-6y ; x = 50-6y
Input this into the 2nd equation: 50-6y+11y=65 ; 50+5y=65
Subtract 50 from both sides. 5y=15 (Divided 5y on both sides) ; y=3
Now that y = 3 input this into any equation I choose the 1st one.
x+6(3) = 50 ; x + 18 = 50 (Subtract 18 on both sides to get x)
x = 32
Prove: 32 + 6(3) = 50 ; 32+18 = 50 ; 50 = 50 True
4(5x-20)=-20
20x-80=-20
20x=60
x=3
Answer:
The smallest number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using simultaneous equation;
x+y = 18.....(1)
4x-y = 17.....(2)
from equation (1)..
x+y = 18
y = 18-x...(3)
substitute y into equation (2)
4x-y = 17
4x-(18-x) = 17
4x-18+x = 17
4x+x = 17+18
5x = 35
x = 35÷5
x = 7
substitute x into equation (3)
y = 18-x
y = 18-7
y = 11
Therefore; x=7
y=11
11+7=18
(4×7)-11=17
the smallest number is 7
