Factor using the AC method...
The answer is:
(x+6) (x+8)
The answer is D, i.e. the system was solved via elimination
If you multiply the first equation by 5, the system becomes

If you sum the two equations, you get

And so if you substitute the second equation of system A with this new equation, you'll get system B.
Answer:
3.8
Step-by-step explanation:
if the apples are 0.30 cents each then you multiply .3 X 6 and you get 1.8 because 1 apple is .30 cents you want to know how much is 6.
Next you pay .40 cents each for 5 oranges so .4 X 5 which is 2. And once again one orange is .40 cents so you multiply that by 5 to see the price of 5 oranges
Now you add the 1.8 to 2 and get 3.8
Now for the equation you just need to plug in what you did so...
(0.3 X 6) + (0.40 X 5) = 3.8
Glad i could help :)
There are 222 boys in the class. You find this by dividing 185 by 5 which gets you 37, so you have to multiply the 6 by 37 to find the amount of boys.
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
