Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
y = -3x - 2
5x + 2y = 15
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Substitution</em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 5x + 2(-3x - 2) = 15
- Distribute 2: 5x - 6x - 4 = 15
- Combine like terms: -x - 4 = 15
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: -x = 19
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = -19
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: y = -3x - 2
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = -3(-19) - 2
- Multiply: y = 57 - 2
- Subtract: y = 55
Answer:
Cleanser that costs 50 cents is 1400 liters, Cleanser that costs 80 cents is 600 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by using <em>simultaneous equations</em>:
- Let us express the question in terms of equations
Let a be cleanser at 50 cents and let b be the cleanser at 80 cents.
Equation 1: 0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)
Equation 2: a + b = 2000
From equation 2, a = 2000 - b (Let's call this equation 3)
2. Substituting equations 2 and 3 in Equation 1:
0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)
0.5(2000 - b) + 0.8b = 0.59(2000)
1000 - 0.5b + 0.8b = 1180
0.3b = 180
b = 600
Substitute in equation 3:
a = 2000 - 600
a = 1400
As a note, I formed equation 1 because I know for a fact the cost per liter of a and b. I also know it is sold at 0.59 cents per liter. We are selling 2000 liters in this instance, therefore 0.59(2000) = 1180, which in this case is the selling price.
