Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben has b,

sean has s

alexis has a

samantha has s

Money.

We need to write the words into equations and solve as we can.

b + s + a + s = 47

b + s = 27

b + a = 25

b + s = 23

We need to find a.

Let's put 2nd equation in first, to get:

27 + a + s = 47

a + s = 20 ---------- 5th equation

Now let's solve 4th equation for b and put it into 3rd equation:

b + s = 23

b = 23 - s

Putting in 3rd equation:

23 - s + a = 25

a - s = 2 ---------------6th equation

Now, add up 5th and 6th equation to get a:

a + s = 20

a - s = 2

-------------

2a = 22

a = 22/2 = 11

Alexis got $11

Solve the system of equations.<br> y= 3x +5<br> y= 8x +3
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both expressions are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:

3x+5=8x+3

5=5x+3

2=5x

2/5=x

0.4=x

Now to solve y:

y=8(2/5)+3

y=16/5+3

y=3.2+3

y=6.2

Check answers:

6.2=3(0.4)+5

6.2=1.2+5

6.2=6.2

6.2=8(0.4)+3

6.2=3.2+3

6.2=6.2

Answers work, so y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2) as an ordered pair
