Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
$354 divided by 12 equal payments equals $29.50 a payment
-8x - 60 = -164
Add 60 to both sides, because whatever you do on one side, you have to do it to the other side
-8x = -104
Divide -8 to both sides
x = 13
Answer:
3x + 2y = 16
x = 2 , y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that George bought x quarts at $3.00 per quart & y quarts at $2.00 per quart and he bought 7 quarts for $16.00
Considering the total cost
3x + 2y = 16
For the cost of each
x + y = 7
solving the 2 equations simultaneously be substitution
x = 7 - y
3(7 - y) + 2y = 16
21 - 3y + 2y = 16
-3y + 2y = 16 - 21
-y = - 5
Divide both sides by -1
y = 5
x = 7 -y
x = 7 - 5
= 2
