Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: try your best
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
The distributive property is a(b + c) = ab + ac
Answer:
x = -5 y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 2y = 9
multiply the 2nd equation by 3 to set it up for elimination
3(x - 3y)= 3(4)
3x-9y = 12
so now combine both to add
-3x + 2y = 9
3x - 9y = 12
Adding both gives you
-7y = 21
divide both by -7 and you get
y = -3
and you substitute y back into equation to get x
x - 3 (-3) = 4 gives you
x + 9 = 4
x = 4 - 9
x = -5
