We apply the rule of three:
Liters..................Price
5..........................3.98
2........................... x
5 is multiplied by 3.98, and the result of this multiplication is divided by 2.
5 × 3.98 ÷ 2
19.9 ÷ 2
= 9.95
Therefore, 5 liters of water costs $ 9.95.
Question: Which system has the same solution as the teacher's system?
Systems of equations that have the same solution are called equivalent systems.We are given with a system of two equations, we can make an equivalent system by substituting one equation by the sum of the two equations.
Given System:
<span>
8x-16y=14</span>→eq.1
−x+5y=−3→eq.2<span>
Teacher's Solution:
From eq.2
x = 5y + 3
Substituting the value of x in eq.1
We get,
</span> 8(5y + 3) - 16y = 14
40y + 24 - 16y = 14
24y + 24 = 14
24y = 14-24
24y = -10
y = -10/24
y = -5/12
Substituting y-value in eq.2,
−x+5(-5/12) = −3
-x -25/12 = -3
-x = -3 + 21/12
-x = 15/12
x = -5/4
<span>Fabiano:
</span> 3x−15y=<span>9
</span> 8x−16y=−<span>7
</span>Rearranging both equations:
y = 1/5x - 3/5
y = 1/2x+7/16
Placing both equations equal to each other,
1/5x - 3/5= 1/2x+7/16
1/5x -1/2x = 7/16 +3/5
-3/5x = 83/80
x = -83×5/80×3
x = -415/240
x = -83/48
This doesnt matches the teachers solution so we will move to sonali.
<span>Sonali
</span> −x+5y=−<span>3
</span> −4x+8y=−7
Rearranging both equations:
y = 1/5x - 3/5
y = 1/2x -7/8
Placing both equations equal to each other,
1/5x - 3/5 = 1/2x -7/8
1/5x -1/2x = -7/8 +3/5
-3/10x = -11/40
x = 110/120
x = 11/12
This doesn't match the teacher's solution either, so we will conclude that none of the solutions to the system of equation has the same answer as the teacher.
