Answer:
16 is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are
12x + 4y = 152 ...........1
32x + 12y = 420 .....2
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 to make coefficient of y same we have:
36x+12y= 456
32x+12y=420
Subtracting the two equations we have:
4x=36.
Dividing by 4 both sides
x= 9.
Substituting x value in equation 1
12(9) + 4y = 152
108+4y=152
Subtracting 108 both sides: 4y=44.
Dividing both sides by 4.
y=11.
cost of the vegetarian lunch is $11.
In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch.
You have to multiply 43 by 17 to get the missing number.
Option A is your answer.
Subtract 3 from both sides to get zero on the right side of the equal sign.
8 - 3 = 5.
So that becomes your constant term in the equation.
