Answer: x=-10, y=13
Step-by-step explanation:

+2y-2y = 0, eliminating y is much easier. So -3x-5x = -8x and 56+24 = 80

Substitute x in any equations but only 1 equation (Don't substitute in both equations.)
For me, I'd substitute x in -3x+2y=50

So the answer is x = -10, y = 13
Answer:
200 pairs of sandals
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the sandals with x and the running shoes with y.
In a typical month:

In April

Required
The number of sandals in a typical month
<u>In a typical month:</u>
If 1 sandal costs 2.50, then x costs 2.50x
If 1 running shoe costs 4, then y costs 4y
The total is:

<u>In April:</u>
If 1 sandal costs 2.50, then 2x costs 5x ---- <em>we used 2x because the pairs is doubled </em>
If 1 running shoe costs 4, then y costs 4y
The total is:

The equations are:

Answer:
32 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the larger rectangle is double that of the smaller one. If we assume the rectangles are similar, the perimeter will be double as well:
2·(16 ft) = 32 feet . . . . perimeter of larger rectangle
__
The width of the larger one is 2·1.8 ft = 3.6 ft.
