Well, let's see. The problem gave you an ordered pair. In other words, you have an 'x' and a 'y' coordinate. All you need to do is put them into the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
This means that instead of --
-3x - 3y = 125 + 5y = -20
We would have:
-3(-5)-3(-5) = 125(-5) + 5(-5) = -20
From here, you just simplify it into:
30 = -650 = -20
Since the values are not the same, the ANSWER is NO. The ordered pair does not satisfy the following system of equations.
Answer:
Plates are 2.80 Dollars and cups are 1.40 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups = c
Plates = p
6p + 5c = 23.80 ==> multiply by 6 ==> 36p + 30c = 142.80
7p + 6c = 28.00 ==> multiply by 5 ==> 35p + 30c = 140.00
Now use algebra to have the 30c be on one side and the rest on the other:
36p + 30c = 142.80 | -36p
30c = 142.80 - 36p
35p + 30c = 140.00 | -35p
30c = 140.00 - 35p
Now set them equal to each other about the 30c:
142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p
Use algebra to solve for p:
142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p | +36p
142.80 = 140.00 + p | - 140
2.80 = p
Go back to one of the "30c" equations and plug in the value for p:
30c = 140 - 35p
30c = 140 - 35(2.80)
30c = 140 - 98
30c = 42 | /30
c = 42/30
c = 1.4
Answer:
84 blocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are adding 2 to each day (which already has 4) in a 2 week period (14 days) than you would have to time 2(14) and 4(14) and add them. Thus would make the answer 84 blocks.
