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

Noah is solving an equation, and one of his moves is unacceptable. Here are the moves he made.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is correct up to the step 2x = 6x

2x = 6x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

0 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 0

You cannot divide both sides by x since x could be zero, and in fact, it is.

Answer: b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

consider the equation is Y equals 1/square root of x and y=x-2. approximate solution of the system equations
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

x=1 and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

y=\sqrt{x} and y=x-2

To solve the problem, we need to equal the two equations:

x-2=\sqrt{x} ⇒ (x-2)^{2} =x ⇒ x^{2} -4x + 4 = x  

⇒ x^{2} -5x + 4 = 0  

So you need to find two numbers that added equal to 5 and multiplied equal to 4. These two numbers are x=-1 and x=-4.

Then, the factorized form of the polynomial is: (x-1)(x-4).

The, the solution to the system of equations is: x=1 and x=4.

pashok25 [27]

Answer: 0.1 OR 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it: There's 1/2 bag of oranges, and you wanna know what number of oranges used in the juice. Take 1/2, and divided it by 5. You get 0.1, then you should turn it into a fraction, giving you 1/10.
