First, let's multiply the first equation by two on the both sides:
<span>8x + 7y = 39 /2
</span>⇒ 16x + 14y = 78
Now, the system is:
<span>16x + 14y = 78
</span><span>4x – 14y = –68
</span>
After adding this up in the column:
(16x + 4x) + (14y - 14y) = 78 - 68
20x = 10
⇒ x = 10/20 = 1/2
y can be calculated by replacin the x:
<span>8x + 7y = 39
</span>⇒ 8 · 1/2 + 7y = 39
4 + 7y = 39
7y = 39 - 4
7y = 35
⇒ y = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
What do the places mean? I’d say the signs are negative since both values are (-3) and (-5), but i don’t know what you mean by placed - if they were placed in a number line, it would go 3 and 5 values left or down.
Answer: 1 teashirt=7 L
1 hat= 3L
Step-by-step explanation:
2 T shirts= 31 - 17
2 T shirts= 14
1 T shirt=14/2
1 T = 7 L
14L+ 1H=17 L
one hat = 17 - 14=3 L
The answer is 84 because 21 times 4 equals 84
