We can solve this using substitution.
because x-y=2.5
x=y+2.5
Now substitute x into other equation.
2(y+2.5)^2-2y=125
2y^2+10y+12.5-2y=125
2y^2+8y-112.5=0
Now comes the ugly part
y=-4+-sqrt(16+900)
y=-4+-sqrt916
y=-4+-2sqrt229
x=-1.5+-2sqrt229
Amount of money collected in the 2-day fundraiser is represented by the following equations:
- 12x + 4y = 152 .................. (i)
- 32x + 12y = 420 .................. (ii)
where x is the cost of a chicken lunch and y is the cost of a vegetarian lunch
Multiplying (i) with 3 and subtracting it from (ii)
36x + 12y - (32x + 12y) = 456 - 420
⇒ 4x = 36
⇒ x = 9
Put value of x in (i)
⇒ 12 × 9 + 4y = 152
⇒ 108 + 4y = 152
⇒ 4y = 44
⇒ y = 11
Hence, cost of the vegetarian meal is 11.
The correct answer is C or 197in squared because the back and top sides are 25. so that is 50. Then the sides are 35. so that is 70. and the front is 32. The bottom is 45. So, 50+70+32+45 is 197in squared.

remember
(ab)/(cd)=(a/c)(b/d)
we can split them up
and
(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)

2 to 3
4(x-1)=15
to
4x-1=15
the distribuutive prperty
a(b-c)=ab-ac
what he did was
a(b-c)=ab-c
he did not distribute the 4 to the -1
4(x-1)+3=18
minus 3
4(x-1)=15
distribute 4 to x and -1
4x-4=15
add 4 to both sides
4x=19
divide by 4
x=19/4
