Both <em>Px</em> + <em>Qy</em> = <em>R</em> and <em>Tx</em> + <em>Uy</em> = <em>V</em> have the same solution (2, 9), meaning the point (2, 9) lies on both lines such that <em>x</em> = 2 and <em>y</em> = 9 makes both equations true.

When you add these equations together, you get

(<em>Px</em> + <em>Qy</em>) + (<em>Tx</em> + <em>Uy</em>) = <em>R</em> + <em>V</em>

→   (<em>P</em> + <em>T</em> ) <em>x</em> + (<em>Q</em> + <em>U</em> ) <em>y</em> = <em>R</em> + <em>V</em>

so the first option is equivalent.

When you subtract the first equation from the second, you get

(<em>Tx</em> + <em>Uy</em>) - (<em>Px</em> + <em>Qy</em>) = <em>V</em> - <em>R</em>

→   (<em>T</em> - <em>P</em>) <em>x</em> + (<em>U</em> - <em>Q</em>) <em>y</em> = <em>V</em> - <em>R</em>

so the third option is also equivalent.

yanalaym [24]
//I'll let x = $5, y = $10
x + y = 13
5x + 10y = 90

So, y = 13 - x
5x + 10(13 - x) = 90
5x + 130 - 10x = 90
-5x = -40
x = 8

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

a) 7 equal sized pieces of 3/8 pounds

               7* 3/8 =  21/8

b) 3 equal sized pieces of 7/8 pounds

               3* 7/8 =  21/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin has 2 5/8 pounds of ground beef.

2 5/8 = 21/8 pounds = 2.625 pounds

Because 21 is divisible by 3 and 7, we can arrange the ground beef in two configurations

a) 7 equal sized pieces of 3/8 pounds

               7* 3/8 =  21/8

b) 3 equal sized pieces of 7/8 pounds

               3* 7/8 =  21/8
