Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x -3y = 13
4x -y = -9
Multiply the second equation by -3 to make the coefficient of Y opposite the first equation.
4x -y = -9 x -3 = -12x + 3y = 27
Now add this to the first equation:
2x -12x = -10x
-3y +3y = 0
13 +27 = 40
Now you have :
-10x = 40
Divide each side by -10:
x = 40 / -10
x = -4
Now you have a value for x, replace that into the first equation and solve for y:
2(-4) - 3y = 13
-8 - 3y = 13
Add 8 to both sides:
-3y = 21
Divide both sides by -3:
y = 21/-3
y = -7
Now you have X = -4 and y = -7
(-4,-7)
1(Identifying):
Tomatoes-x--$3 per lb
Mushrooms- 1/3 x-- $10 per lb
Peaches- x+1-- $6 per lb
2(Equation):
3x+6(x+1)+1/3x*10=80
3x+6x+6+10/3 x=80
12 1/3 x= 74
x=74÷(12+1/3)
Step 3(Final Equations):
74*3/37=6=tomatoes
Meaning...
6+1=7=Peaches
6/3=2= mushrooms
Answer:
7 lb of peaches, 6 lb of tomatoes, and 2 lb of mushrooms
