Answer:

the cost for the large popcorn and the small drink is $4 and $3 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cost for the large popcorn and the small drink is shown below:

Let us assume the cost of the large popcorn be x

ANd, the small drink cost be y

Now as per the question

2x + 4y = $20

2x + 2y = $14

Now subtract equation 2 from equation 1

2y = $6

y = $3

Now for x it is

2x + 12 = $20

2x = $8

x = $4

Hence, the cost for the large popcorn and the small drink is $4 and $3 respectively

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation comes out to be:

3x + 11 = 5x + 3

Move the <u>variables</u> to the left-hand side and change its sign

And move the <u>constant</u> to the right-hand side and change its sign:

3x - 5x = 3 - 11

Combine like terms to get:

-2x = -8

Isolate x by dividing -2 on both sides:

-2x/-2 = -8/-2

x = 4

The equations were multiplied by constants and added together to determine that the value of x in the system of equations is –20
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1

2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12

Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12

3. 3x - 5y = -15

4. -9x + 4y = 144

and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,

Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,

3(-20) - 5y = -15

-5y = 60 - 15

y = 45/-5

= -9

y = -9
