It is a down shift of 3.
Also written as (x, y-3)
To find the answers, substitute the variables (letters) in the equation for the number on that line that corresponds to that letter, then solve with the equation.
Answer:
4X+5
Step-by-step explanation:
Dan : X
Harry: X+5
Regan: 2X
X+X+5+2X
System of equations:
We'll need one equation for the amount of pizzas, and another for the total cost of the pizzas. In this case, x will represent small pizzas, and y will represent large pizzas.
3x + 4y = 100
x + y = 30
Solving the system of equations:
First, we need to solve for one variable in one equation.
x + y = 30
x = 30 - y
Then, we'll take our equation that is solved for x and plug it into the other equation from above.
3(30 - y) + 4y = 100
Next, we solve for y.
90 - 3y + 4y = 100
90 + y = 100
y = 10
Finally, we take our value for y and plug it back in to the very first equation and solve for x.
x = 30 - 10
x = 20
Answer:
The student has sold 10 large pizzas and 20 small pizzas.
Hope this helps!! :)
