1) x+y = 170
x-y = 26
2) Subtract the two equations from each other. Doing this you get 2y = 56.
So the value of y is 28. Then plug in the value of y into any of the two equations and solve for x.
x-28 = 26
x = 54
3) When writing solutions as an ordered pair, the x value always comes first followed by the y value. So it would be (54, 28).
I think the answer is 8x. I am not 100% sure
I would recommend MathPapa for this.
Answer:
$186.86
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>4 eggs cost:</u>
1 dollar per dozen (12 eggs), so by unitary method (ratios), we can find cost of 4 eggs. Shown below:

So, 4 eggs cost $0.33 approx
<u>12 lb. flour cost:</u>
2.50 dollar per pound, so 12 pounds would simply cost:
2.5 * 12 = $30
<u>14 lb of sugar cost:</u>
4.50 dollar per pound means 14 pounds would cost:
4.5 * 14 = $63
<u>2 ready-made edible flowers cost:</u>
5 cents for each flower means 2 flowers would cost:
5 cent = 0.05 dollars
0.05 * 2 = $0.10
We add all up to find cost of 1 cake. Shown below:
Cost of 1 cake = $0.33 + $30 + $63 + $0.10 = $93.43
Cost of 2 cakes = $93.43 * 2 = $186.86
