8 0

{ x + y = 1 * ( - 2 )
2 x + 3y = -4

- 2 x - 2 y = - 2
2 x + 3 y = - 4
_______________
y = - 6

Subsititute y = - 6

2 x + 3 y = - 4

2 x + 3 * (-6) = -4

2 x - 18 = - 4

2 x = - 4 + 18

2 x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7

The solution to the system of equations are:

x = 7 and y = - 6

hope this helps!

At a baseball game, 3 drinks and 4 hotdogs cost $15.00. At the same game, 3 drinks and 1 hotdog cost $10.50. Find the cost for a

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the cost of drinks be x

and the cost of hotdogs be y

3x+4y=15-------1

also

3x+y= 10.5------2

solve 1 and 2

3x+4y=15

-3x+y= 10.5

3y= 4.5

divide both sides by 3

y= 4.5/3

y= $1.5

Put y= 1.5 in 1

3x+4(1.5)=15

3x+6= 15

3x=15-6

3x= 9

x= 9/3

x= $3

Hence the cost of a drink is $3

kirill [66]

Answer:

Let's assume John gets p for each day so his total is 4p. He spends half of that on gas, (4p)/2 = 2p. He has 2p left. Now subtract 5 from 2p for the coffee, and there is 35 left. So 2p - 5 = 35. Right? Now you can solve for p, by simplifying that equation.
