Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 3
6x + 3y = -3
the substitution method means you plug one equation into the next, because the first equation gives us a solution for y we can go ahead and plug that into y of the second equation
6x + 3(-2x + 3) = -3
6x - 6x + 9 = -3
9 = -3
which is false meaning that there are no solutions and the lines don't touch at any point
Answer:
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
y= $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of a flashlight
Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
Multiply the first equation by -5
-5(3x +4y) = -5*118
-15x -20y = -590
Multiply the second equation by 3
3(5x+6y) =3*180
15x + 18y = 540
Add the modified equations together.
We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x
-15x -20y = -590
15x + 18y = 540
----------------------------
-2y = -50
Divide by -2
-2y/-2 = -50/-2
y =25
Each sleeping bag costs $25
To answer this, you would use the original ratio of 2 to 5 and create an equivalent ratio that includes the 12 tulips. You would get a ratio of 12 to 30. This is not enough daisies.
I then tried 2/5 times 7/7, but it still did not reach the 36 daisies that are there. When you use a factor of 8, you will get 16 tulips to 40 daisies. This works!
You would need to add 4 tulips and 4 daisies to what he already has.
