Multiply each side by 2
Multiply all terms in the first equation by 2 and all terms in the second by 3.
You should obtain:
6x + 16y = 34
-6x + 27y = 9
------------------
43y =43, and so y = 1. Subbing 1 for y in the first eq'n, we get
3x + 8(1) = 17, or 3x = 9, or x = 3.
The solution is (3, 1).
If she started with $40 and ended up with $10, that means she must've used $30. Since the popcorn bags were all identical and she bought 12, you can divide 30 by 12 which gives you 2.5.
The answer is $2.50.
Answer:
x≥
Step-by-step explanation:
given 1.5x+3.75≥5.5
