8x + 7y = 39
4x - 14y = -68
(multiply each term in second equation by -2)
8x + 7y = 39
-8x + 28y = 136
(add both equations)
35y = 175
(divide both sides by 35)
y = 5
(substitute value of y in one of the equations)
8x + 7(5) = 39
8x + 35 = 39
8x = 4
x = 1/2
(x, y) = (1/2, 5)
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
You save ⅓ of entry fee, so you save 1.20 and you pay 2.40. We only really care about the 1.20 reduction. 5 / 1.2 = 4.16 so he must go 5 times to get the 5 back
