Answer:
26 + y
----------
9y
Step-by-step explanation:
Your using parentheses here would remove a great deal of ambiguity. Looking at your 8-y/3y + y+2/9y - 2/6y, I have interpreted it to mean:
(8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y. For example, without parentheses, your 8-y/3y might be interpreted differently, as 8 - y/(3y), or 8 - 1/3.
Looking at (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y again, we see three different denominators: 3y, 9y and 6 y. The LCD here is 9y. Multiplying all three terms of (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y by the LCD, we get:
3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y. We must now divide this by the LCD:
3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y
--------------------------
9y
Next we need to perform the indicated multiplication:
24 - 3y + y + 2 + 3y
----------------------------
9y
and then to combine like terms:
24 + 2 - 3y + y + 3y, 26 + y
---------------------------- or -----------
9y 9y
Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1 hot dog costs $0.75
1 bratwurst costs $1.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the price per dozen of hot dogs and bratwursts respectively.
The first day they sold 8 dozen hot dogs and 13 dozen bratwursts for $282.60
8x + 13y = 282.60
The second day they sold 10 dozen hot dogs and 15 dozen bratwursts for a total of $333.00
10x + 15y = 333
and we have the linear system
<em>8x + 13y = 282.60
</em>
<em>10x + 15y = 333
</em>
which can be written in matrix form as
The solution would be given by
We have
hence
Now,
if a dozen hot dogs cost $9, 1 hot dog costs 9/12 = $0.75
if a dozen bratwursts cost $16.2, 1 bratwurst costs 16.2/12 = $1.35
