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

Which words in this sentence are the infinitive? Would you like to cook? A. like to B. to cook C. you like D. would you
AysviL [449]
B. to cook

An infinitive almost always begins with “to” and is followed by the basic form of the verb. It is usually in this form:

To + Verb = Infinitive

An infinitive is NOT a verb, so s, es, ed, or ing should not be added to the end. Infinitives can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. According to the pattern of what an infinitive should be, “to cook” is the infinitive of this sentence and it functions as a noun.
