So plug in the number of passengers into each equation and see which answer matches Layton's. then from all the answers you find from plugging in the number of passengers, choose the cheapest one for B
Answer:
On the number line integers from 16 to 24 is the answer.
Remember you can add like terms exg, 3y+4y=7y 3y^2+4y^2=7y^2, but cannot add 3y^2 and 4y, or 3 and 4y so
3a+2w-5a-9w
group like trems
3a-5a+2w-9w
subtract
-2a-7w
3y^2+2w^2-y^2-w^2
group like terms (think of w^2 and y^2 as 1w^2 and 1y^2)
3y^2-y^2+2w^2-w^2
subtract
2y^2+w^2
2x+2x=4x
40 students prefer vanilla. To get this answer you need to multiply 200 times 0.2 because you are trying to find 20%
Solve the following system:{12 x = 54 - 6 y | (equation 1)-17 x = -6 y - 62 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:{12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 1)-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 2)
Add 12/17 × (equation 1) to equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+(174 y)/17 = 174/17 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 17/174:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:{-(17 x)+0 y = -68 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -17:{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:Answer: {x = 4 {y = 1
Please note the { are supposed to span over both equations but it interfaces doesn't allow it. Please see attachment for clarification.
