Answer: Price of Math Textbook= $42.5, Price of the Novel= $11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = price of the Novel.
Price of Math Textbook = 8+3x
As per given , we have
Price of Math Textbook + Price of the Novel = $54
⇒ 8+3x+x = 54
⇒ 8+4x=54
⇒ 4x = 46 [subtract 8 from both sides]
⇒ x = 11.5
Price of Math Textbook = 8+3(11.5) = 8+34.5= $42.5
Hence, Price of Math Textbook= $42.5, Price of the Novel= $11.5
I'd say the 3rd one. I haven't done this stuff in 2 years ... me forgot. But if it's not right, then the 1st one!
I want you to know you're smart and you can do this! Good luck!
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
1) lets use elimination to solve this:
multiply 10x+4y=24 with 3 in order to get "4y" into "12y"
3(10x+4y=24)
30x+12y=72
now subtract both equations to eliminate 'y"
30x+12y=72
-
6x+12y=48
---------------------
24x=24
x=1
now substitute 1 in the above equation:
6(1)+12y=48
6+12y=48
12y=42
y=7/2
It is no answer, because when you get 12x + 48 = 48 + 12x, they cancel each other out.
