Equation 1)  -2x-y=-9
Equation 2)  5x-2y=18

Multiply all of equation 1 by 2, so that both equations have (2y) in them.

1)  2(-2x-y=-9)

Simplify.

1)  -4x-2y=-18
2)  5x-2y=18

Subtract equations with each other.

-9x=-36

Divide both sides by -9.

x=4

Plug in 4 for (x) into equation 1.

-2x-y=-9

-2(4)-y=-9

Simplify.

-8-y=-9

Add 8 to both sides.

-y=-1

Divide both sides by -1.

y=1

(4, 1)

Inventory Heung-Soo is responsible for checking a shipment of technology equipment that contains laser printers that cost $700 e
Alla [95]

Answer:

P + M = 30

700P + 200M = 15000

Number of laser printers = 18

Number of color monitors = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = number of laser printers

Let M = number of color monitors

Given total number of boxes = 30

⇒ P + M = 30

Given:

  • $700 = cost of laser printer
  • $200 = cost of color monitor
  • $15000 = total cost of order

⇒ 700P + 200M = 15000

Rewrite P + M = 30 to make P the subject:

⇒ P = 30 - M

Substitute into 700P + 200M = 15000 and solve for M:

⇒ 700(30 - M) + 200M = 15000

⇒ 21000 - 700M + 200M = 15000

⇒ 500M = 6000

⇒ M = 12

Substitute found value for M into P = 30 - M and solve for P:

⇒ P = 30 - 12 = 18
