Answer:
x=6; y=-3 (6;-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x=54
x=6
If you substitute...y= -3
Answer:
Dozen eggs = $5.5
Wheel of cheese = $6.25
Pound of potatoes = $3.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost
Dozen of egg = x
Wheel of cheese = y
Pound of potato = z
We will form linear equations using the information given in the question
Adam purchased 3 dozen eggs, 1 wheel of cheese, and 5 pounds of potatoes
3x + y + 5z = 38.25 ................(1)
Barry bought 1 dozen eggs and 10 pounds of potatoes
x + 10z = 36.50 ............(2)
Charles purchased 2 dozen eggs and 2 pounds of potatoes
2x + 2z = 17.20 .................(3)
solving 2 and 3
x = $5.5 and z = $3.1
substitute these values in equation 1
we get
y = $6.25
The cost
Dozen eggs = $5.5
Wheel of cheese = $6.25
Pound of potatoes = $3.1
I hope this helps you
distance=speed×time
first cars time t
second cars time t+3
same distance
distance=55.t
distance=40. (t+3)
55t=40 (t+3)
55t-40t=120
15t=120
t=8
t+3=11
