SOLVE USING ELIMINATION *20 POINTS*
1 answer:
1. No answer ( may be due to incorrect question)
2. x = -3
y = 4
3. x= 4
y = 2
4.x = -63/40
y= -19/20
Step 1
Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2
Multiply equation 2 by the coefficient of x I'm equation 1
(after completing this step you will derive equation 3 and 4 )
Step 2
Subtract equation 4 from equation 3
Step 3
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of y
Step 4
substitute your value for y in equation 1 or 2
(after this you will derive the values of x)
Note : This method is for the Elimination of x

Answer:
Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = 1
Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = x
Let Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = y
As given,
Price of 1 shirt = $4
Price of 1 hat = $12
⇒ Price of x shirts = $ 4x
Price of y hats = $ 12y
Given that,
Mrs. Grubb bought total piece of clothes = 9
⇒ x + y = 9 .......(1)
Also given,
She bought all clothing for $100
⇒ 4x + 12 y = 100 ........(2)
Divide equation (2) by 4 we get
x + 3y = 25 .......(3)
Now,
Subtract equation (1) from equation (3) , we get
x + 3y - ( x + y ) = 25 - 9
⇒ x + 3y - x - y = 16
⇒2y = 16
⇒y = = 8
⇒ y = 8
Put value of y in equation (3), we get
x + 3(8) = 25
⇒x + 24 = 25
⇒x = 25 - 24 = 1
⇒x = 1
∴ we get
Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = x = 1
Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = y = 8
