Answer:
x = -4; y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 5y = 7
3x - y = -9
Rewrite top equation. Multiply both sides of bottom equation by -5. Add equations. This eliminates y, and we solve for x.
2x - 5y = 7
(+) -15x + 5y = 45
----------------------------
-13x = 52
Divide both sides by -13.
x = -4
Substitute -4 for x in the first original equation and solve for y.
2x - 5y = 7
2(-4) - 5y = 7
-8 - 5y = 7
-5y = 15
y = -3
Answer: x = -4; y = -3
-5 =
From question,
lacy learned 34 recipes in 17 weeks,
so in 1 week she learns = 34/17 =2 recipes,
hence she learns 40 recipes in
= 40*2
=80 recipes.
Total cost is $38.16
Multiply 36 by 0.06 (2.16)
Add 2.16 to 36 (38.16)
Olivia needs 15 yards of ribbon.
2.5x18=45 feet
divide 45ft by 3 to see how many yards that would be.
45/3=15
