To answer the question, let x be the cost of each hamburger, y be the cost of each medium fries, and z be the cost of each medium drink. The equations that are described in the problem are,
(Miller ) 4x + 3y = 18.69
(James) x + 2y + z = 8.66
(Steven) 2x + y + z = 10.27
Solving simultaneously for the values of the variables give x = 3.36, y = 1.75, and z = 1.8.
Thus, each hamburger costs $3.36. Each medium fries cost $1.75, and each drink costs $1.8.
In math and and other types of school stuff :) if that's what your asked
Combine like terms
8u+3u= 11u
and
9v-5v= 4v
So the answer is 11u+4v
Answer:
The two numbers are 37.5 and 25.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Comment
Let the two numbers be x and y
Equations
x + y = 63
x - y = 12
Solution
Add the two equations. The ys cancel out.
2x = 75 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 75/3 Do the division
x = 37.5
Now use one of the given equations to solve for y
x + y = 63
x = 37.5
37.5 + y = 63 Subtract 37.5 from both sides
37.5-37.5+y= 63 - 37.5 Collect the like terms on both sides
y = 25.5
Check
x - y =? 12
37.5-25.5 =? 12
12 = 12
