Mathematics

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is a) there are an infinite number of solutions

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given these two following equations:

15x = 5y - 5 --- (1)

y = 3x + 1 --- (2)

Solving these two by the substitution method by putting the value of y in equation (1).

15x = 5y - 5

15x = 5(3x + 1) - 1

15x = 15x + 5 - 5

5 and -5 get cancelled and we are left with 15 on both sides of the equation which will cancel each other.

Therefore, these equations have an infinite number of solutions.

Plsss help no one answered the other times I put this question
svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) <em>The equation</em> (10s + 8w) <em>represents </em><em>the </em><em>calories </em><em>Bridget </em><em>ate </em><em>on </em><em>Monday </em><em>and </em><em>the </em><em>equation</em> (20s + w) <em>represents </em><em>the </em><em>calories</em><em> </em><em>she </em><em>ate</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>next </em><em>day.</em>

<em>b)</em><em> </em><em>The </em><em>number </em><em>of </em><em>calories</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>each </em><em>strawberry</em><em> </em><em>is </em>4 <em>and </em><em>the </em><em>number </em><em>of </em><em>calories </em><em>in </em><em>each </em><em>vanilla</em><em> </em><em>wafer</em><em> cookie</em><em> </em><em>is </em>19. The solution is s= 4 and w = 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A, Bridget ate 10 strawberries and 8 vanilla wafer cookies on Monday. Since the the number of calories in a strawberry is <em>s</em> and the number of calories in a vanilla wafer cookie is <em>w </em>, the number of calories Bridget ate on Monday is <em>10s + 8w</em><em>.</em><em> </em>The next day, Bridget ate 20 strawberries and 1 vanilla wafer cookie. Hence, the number of calories Bridget ate on the next day is 20s<em> + w</em>.

For part B,

we will create two different simultaneous equations.

Equation 1: 10s + 8w = 192

Equation 2: 20s + w = 99

We need to find one of the terms first to solve the other term. For this case, I will solve for w first.

Multiply the first equation by 2.

Equation 3: 20s + 16w = 192*2 = 384.

Now, subtract equation 2 from this new equation.

Equation 4:

(20s + 16w) - (20s + w) = 384 - 99

20s + 16w - 20s - w = 285

15w = 285

This leaves only w left and we can solve w.

w = 285 / 15 = 19

Now, we can solve for s using equation 2.

20s + 19 = 99

20s = 99-19 = 80

Hence,

s = 80/20 = 4
