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

kherson [118]
Given:
land area of Alaska: 1,700,000 square kilometers
land area of Florida: 0.10 of Alaska

To find the land area of Florida, we multiply its decimal to the land area of Alaska

1,700,000 sq. km * 0.10 = 170,000 square kilometers.

The land area of Florida is 170,000 square kilometers. It is equal to 0.10 or 10% of the land area of Alaska.<span />
