Answer:
Solve the 1st equation for y and then you substitute the answer of the y value to the other equation to get the x value
Answer:
1 hotdog is $3.5.
1 drink is $2.
Step-by-step explanation:
18.50= 3x+4y(times 5)
25.50=5x+4y(times -3)
92.5=15x+20x
-76.5=-15x+-12y
16=-8y
2=y
18.50=3x+4(2)
10.50=3x+8
10.50=3x
3.5=x
Answer:
(2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the system:
y=x+2
y=3x-2.
This is already setup for substitution.
I'm going to replace my first y with what the second y equals.
That is, I'm going to write 3x-2=x+2.
Time to solve the following for x:
3x-2=x+2
Subtract x on both sides:
2x-2= 2
Add 2 on both sides:
2x. = 4
Divide both sides by 2:
x. = 2
Now that we know x=2 and we have an equation that relates x to y: either y=x+2 or y=3x-2, doesn't matter which we use, we can find y.
So we y=x+2 with x=2 which means y=2+2=4.
So the solution, the intersection, is (2,4).
Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12
As per given , we have
if x= 4
Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours
Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)
Therefore, x= 24
Such that
Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours
