Hello!
A coefficient is a constant multiplied by a variable. As you can see, b is not being multiplied by a number we can see. The thing is, it still has a coefficient. Isn't 1b the same thing as b? This would mean our coefficient would be 1.
I hope this helps!
The team won 104 games
160 * 0.65 = 104
the rate for 5 cans for $3.70 is 0.74
the rate for 10 cans for $4.10 is 0.41
so the better buy is 10 cans for $4.10 at sams
Let's solve this system of equations through substitution.
We have these two equations.
-7x-2y=14
6x+6y=18
Now let divide the second equation by 6.
6x+6y=18 ----> x+y=3
Next, let us move y to the right side of the equation.
x+y=3 -------> x=3-y (x equals 3-y)
Because we found out that what x is in terms of y, we can input that in for every instance of x in this equation below.
-7x-2y=14 becomes -7(3-y)-2y=14 (Why? Because x equals 3-y!)
We have a one variable equation now and can solve for y.
-7(3-y)-2y=14
-21+7y-2y=14
5y=35
y=7
Plug in 7 for y in any equation to find x.
x+y=3
x+7=3
x=-4
answer: x=-4, y=7
