Let, the cost of 1 piece of fudge = x
Cost of a gum = y
System of equations: 5x + 3y = 5.70
2x + 10y = 3.60
Multiply 1st equation by 2, and second by 5,
New equations: 10x + 6y = 11.40
10x + 50y = 18
Now, subtract 1st from 2nd,
44y = 6.60
y = 6.60 / 44
y = 0.15
Substitute it in second equation,
2x + 10(0.15) = 3.60
2x = 3.60 - 1.5
x = 2.10 / 2
x = 1.05
In short, Cost of a Fudge = $1.05 & Cost of a gum = $0.15
Hope this helps!
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation:
If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to
-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14
-8 - 10x + 34 = -14
-10x = -40
x = 4
If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have
-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14
-8 + 10x - 34 = -14
10x = 28
x = 2.8
