Let  the steaks = X and the salmon = y.

Set up two equations:

15x + 18y = 559.81

19x + 9y = 583.66

Now using the elimination method:

Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.

(15x+18y=559.81)

−2(19x+9y=583.66)

Becomes:

15x+18y=559.81

−38x−18y=−1167.32

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−23x=−607.51

Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:

x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478

Now you have the cost for a steak.

To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.

15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91

396.202174 + 18y = 559.81

Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:

18y = 163.607826

Divide both sides by 18:

y = 163.607826 / 18

y = 9.089324

Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:

X (Steaks) =$26.41

Y (Salmon) = $9.09

Write down the 3rd term in the sequence given by: T(n) = n2 + n
Sergio [31]
The solution for the problem is:
I will first get the first five terms so that I could easily locate the third term of this problem:So, substituting the values:
T(1) = 1^2 = 1T(2) = 2^2 = 4T(3) = 3^2 = 9T(4) = 4^2 = 16T(5) = 5^2 =25
So the third terms is T(3) = 3^2 = 9
