The group rent 11 river rent tubes and 4 cooler tubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent for river rent tube = $20

Rent for cooler tubes = $12.50

Total spent = $270

Total tubes rented = 15

Let,

x be the number of river rent tube.

y be the number of cooler tubes.

According to given statement;

x+y=15    Eqn 1

20x+12.50y=270    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 20

20(x+y=15)\\20x+20y=300\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(20x+20y)-(20x+12.50y)=300-270\\20x+20y-20x-12.50y=30\\7.50y=30

Dividing both sides by 7.5

\frac{7.5y}{7.5}=\frac{30}{7.5}\\y=4

Putting y=4 in Eqn 1

x+4=15\\x=15-4\\x=11

The group rent 11 river rent tubes and 4 cooler tubes.

What is the x-value in the solution to this system of linear equations? 2x − y = 11 x + 3y = −5
Setler [38]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - y = 11 → (1)

x + 3y = - 5 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 3 and add to (2) to eliminate the y- term

6x - 3y = 33 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y, that is

7x = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 4
