Answer:
0.4 pounds of chocolate candies
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people in her family = 5 people
She purchased 2 pounds of chocolate candies
Hence, the pounds of chocolate candies she gave to each person in her family equally is
= 2 pounds of candies/5 persons
= 0.4 pounds of chocolate candies
The answer would be x=2936.7
Using the process of elimination, we will be able to determine the answer. So, 5x+3y=-10 multiply it by *3 to change the equation into 15x+9y=-30. Then to change 3x+5y=-6 multiply it by *5, to change it into 15x+25y=-30. So now with these two equations 15x+9y=-30 and 15x+25y=-30, use subtraction to get rid of the variable x.
Thus,
15x+9y=-30
-
15x+25y=-30
which will leave you with
-16y=0
thus, y=0
Then, plug y back into the original equation to find x
5x+3(0)=-10
5x=-10
x=-2
Thus the point of intersection is (-2,0)
-2 being the x, and y being 0.
