Given:

Package A

Birthday cards = 3

Thank you notes = 2

Costs = $18

 

Package B

Birthday cards = 8

Thank you notes = 6

Costs = $50

 

Required:

x = birthday card cost

y = thank you notes cost

 

Solution:

Package A:

18 = 3x + 2y

Package B:

50 = 8x + 6y

 

Second, add the two equations using elimination method.

 

To find y eliminate x;

[8 (18 = 3x + 2y)] + [-3 (50 = 8x + 6y)]

(144 = 24x + 16y) + [-150 = -24x + (-18y)]

-6 = -2y

Divide both sides with -2.

y = 3 thank you notes cost

Next, let us find x by substituting the value of y.

(18 = 3x + 2y) + (50 = 8x + 6y)

[18 = 3x + 2(3)] + [50 = 8x + 6(3)]

(18 = 3x + 6) + (50 = 8x + 18)

68 = 11x + 24

68 – 24 = 11x

44 = 11x

Divide both sides with 11.

X = 4 birthday card cost

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

It's actually set several hundred years earlier, in the 5th or 6th Century. And it doesn't take place in England. Instead, the action happens in the land of the Danes (what is today the nation of Denmark) and the land of the Geats (what is today the nation of Sweden).

Read the sentence. When asked about his plan to reduce taxes, the candidate said, “Improving the unemployment rate is important.
zheka24 [161]

The logical connection is absent. The answer lacks any explanation to the question being made. The main problem is that the interviewer is left with a very incomplete response, one that requires a lot of work from part of the interviewer. In this case in particular, even if there were a connection between reducing rates and unemployment, it seems that the candidate does not really have an answer to the question.  That is why the fallacy is the lack of connection or relevance between the question and the answer
