Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2y = 14

2x + y = 3

In order to find the number x represents, you have to make the number of y for both equations the same. So:

8x + 2y = 14

(×2) 4x + 2y = 6 (×2)

Then, you can cancel the y off both equations, which will leave:

8x = 14

4x = 6

To find 4x, you have to find the difference between both equations, so you have to:

14 - 6 = 8

Now that the actual number 4x represents is 8, so:

4x = 8

(÷4) x = 2 (÷4)

Now to find y, substitute the letter x with 2:

2x + y = 3

2 (2) + y = 3

4 + y = 3

4 - 3 = -y

1 = -y

(× -) -1 = y (× -)

Answer: x = 2

y = -1

Hope this helps! :)

Athena priced each of her art pieces at the same price and displayed them for sale in two different art shows. She made $495.80

pshichka [43]

In the question "Athena priced each of her art pieces at the same price and displayed them for sale in two different art shows. She made $495.80 from the first art show and $371.85 from the second show. If Athena sold 7 pieces of art, what price did each piece sell for?" To get the price that each piece of art sells for: Total sales made from selling 7 pieces of art = $495.80 + $371.85 = $867.65 The price for each piece of art = $867.65 / 7 = $123.95 Thus each piece of art sells for $123.95 and hence the correct answer.

3/4w+8=1/3w-7 find value of w

Anika [276]

3 / 4 w + 8 = 1 / 3 w - 7

Multiply by LCD = 4 ( w + 2 )(3w - 7)

3(3w-7) = 4(w + 2)

3*3w - 3*7 = 4 * w + 4 * 2

9 w - 21 = 4 w + 8

Add 21 to both sides :

9w - 21 + 21 = 4w + 8+ 21

9w = 4w + 29

9w - 4w = 29

5 w = 29

Divide both sides by 5 :

5 w / 5 = 29 / 5

w = 29 / 5

hope this helps!
