Answer:

x = 5 and y = 1 or (5, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -3y=7

3x-2y=13

Multiply (1st) equation by 3 and (2nd) equation by 2

6x -9y=21

6x-4y=26

----------------subtract

-5y = - 5

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into 2x -3y=7

2x -3(1)=7

2x - 3 = 7

2x = 10

x = 5

Answer

x = 5 and y = 1 or (5, 1)

4 tomatoes and 8 avocados cost $10. Six tomatoes and 14 avocados cost $17. How much does a single avocado and a single tomato co

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

One avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations where t is the number of tomatoes and a is the number of avocados:

4t + 8a = 10

6t + 14a = 17

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2:

12t + 24a = 30

-12t - 28a = -34

Add them together and solve for a:

-4a = -4

a = 1

Plug in 1 as a into one of the equations and solve for t:

4t + 8a = 10

4t + 8(1) = 10

4t + 8 = 10

4t = 2

t = 0.5

So, one avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50

Is this equation linear: 2x+5xy-3=0

Lina20 [59]

What is linear equation?

An equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.

2x + 5xy - 3 = 0

x (2 + 5y) -3 = 0

x ( 2 + 5y ) = 3

2 + 5y = 3 / x

5y = (3/x) - 2

y = ( (3/x) - 2) / 5

According to the graph i don't think it's a linear equation.

Complete the square and write in function form f(x)=x^2+5x+3

Over [174]

F(x) = x^2 +5x + 3

= (x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 + 3

= (x + 2.5)^2 - 3.25

That is vertex form. I am not sure what you mean by function form
