You said X = (5y+1) / (y-2)
Multiply each side by (y-2):
X(y-2) = (5y+1)
Eliminate parentheses:
Xy - 2X = 5y + 1
Add 2X to each side:
Xy = 5y + 1 + 2X
Subtract 5y from each side:
(X-5)y = 1 + 2X
Divide each side by (X-5):
<em>y = (1+2X) / (X-5) </em>
3x+4y = 375
6x+ 4y= 600
-------------------
6x-3x = 600 - 375
3x=225
x=225:3
x=75 cents
3*x+4y= 375
3*75+4y=375
225 +4y = 375
4y=375-225
4y=150
y=150:4
y=37,5 cents
the price is 75+37,5=112,5 cents for one bag of potato chips and one candy bar
Yes because 3×2= 6 , 3×5= 15, 15 + 6 = 21
