Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39
It is 1a over bd and 8 over k
Hi! I believe your answer is <u>8,013.232</u>. The work is shown below. I hope this helps you! Good luck and have a great day. ❤️✨
Answer:
15w - 10x + 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(2x - 3w - 6)
= (-5 * 2x) + (-5 * -3w) + (-5 * -6)
= -10x + 15w + 30
= 15w - 10x + 30.
Hope this helps!
