The answer for this question is (a)5
Hope it helps!
The marching l meaning of the X intercept is when the school receives $0
To solve, we will follow the steps below:
3x+y=11 --------------------------(1)
5x-y=21 ------------------------------(2)
since y have the same coefficient, we can eliminate it directly by adding equation (1) and (2)
adding equation (1) and (2) will result;
8x =32
divide both-side of the equation by 8
x = 4
We move on to eliminate x and then solve for y
To eliminate x, we have to make sure the coefficient of the two equations are the same.
We can achieve this by multiplying through equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3
The result will be;
15x + 5y = 55 ----------------------------(3)
15x - 3y =63 --------------------------------(4)
subtract equation (4) from equation(3)
8y = -8
divide both-side of the equation by 8
y = -1
You can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, shopping mall parking garage charges $2 for the first half hour and $1.20 for each additional half hour (even if it is under 30 minutes)
Therefore,
Cost for first half an hour = $ 2
Cost for each additional half an hour = $ 1.20
Let "x" be the number of each additional half hour
Therefore, total cost to pay is given as:
Total cost = Cost for first half an hour + (Cost for each additional half an hour)(number of each additional half hour)
Total cost = 2 + 1.20x
<em><u>Given you have $ 8 in cash</u></em>

Total hours parked = first half an hour + 5
Thus you can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes
