3 burritos and 4 tacos cost 11.33 3b + 4t = 11.33 
<span>9 burritos and 5 tacos cost 23.56 9b + 5t = 23.56 </span>
<span>To solve: multiply top equation by 3. </span>
<span>3(3b + 4t = 11.33) becomes 9b + 12t = 33.99 </span>
<span>9b + 5t = 23.56 stays as is 9b + 5t = 23.56 </span>
<span>Now subtract the second equation from the first and you will get </span>
<span>7t = 10.43 which you can solve by dividing both sides by 7 to get t = 1.49 so a taco costs $1.49. </span>
<span>Now replace a t in either equation with 1.49 so 3b + 4t = 11.33 becomes 3b +4(1.49) = 11.33 or 3b + 5.96 = 11.33. Now subtract 5.96 from each side leaving 3b = 5.37 and finally divide both sides by 3 to get b = 1.79 so a burrito costs $1.79 </span>

<span>Problem Two: </span>
<span>3 brass and 10 steel costs $48 3b + 10s = 48 </span>
<span>7 brass and 4 steel costs $54 7b + 4s = 54 </span>
<span>To solve: multiply top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by 5 so the number of s's will be equal </span>
<span>2(3b + 10s = 48) becomes 6b + 20s = 96 </span>
<span>5(7b + 4s = 54) becomes 35 b + 20s = 270 </span>
<span>Now subtract the top equation from the bottom equation and you will get 29b = 174. Divide both sides by 29 to get b = 6. </span>
<span>Now replace the b of either original equations with the 6 (say the top equation) to get 3(6) + 10S = 48 or written another way, </span>
<span>10s + 18 = 48. Now subtract 18 from both sides to get 10s = 30 and then divide both sides by 10 to get s = 3. </span>
<span>b=6 and s=3 so each brass part is $6 and each steel part is $3.</span>

Solve linear equations <br><br> Solve for x <br><br> -2(4x + 3) = 3(x + 1)
inna [77]

Answer:

x = - \frac{9}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(4x + 3) = 3(x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

- 8x - 6 = 3x + 3 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 11x - 6 = 3 ( add 6 to both sides )

- 11x = 9 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

x = - \frac{9}{11}

Compute the slope of the line intersecting the points (1, 2) and (3, 8). *
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 8)

m = \frac{8-2}{3-1} = \frac{6}{2} = 3
