3x = 18-2y

x= 6 - 2/3y

then substitute in the second equation

Y= -2/3x + 12

y=-2/3(6-2/3y)+12

y= 72/5

then substitute y= 72/5 in the first equation x= 6 - 2/3y

then x = -18/5

Answer:

3x + 2y =18

 Y= -2/3x + 12

3x + 2(-2/3x+12) = 18

3x + (-4/3x+24) = 18

3x + -1 1/3x +24 =18

1 2/3x +24 = 18

1 2/3x = -6

5/3x = -6

x = -3.75

Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

What is an equation of a line that passes through the point of (-8 2) and (-4,-3)

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-8,2)=(x_1 ,y_1)\\(-4 ,-3) = (x_2 ,y_2)\\\\\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\\frac{y-2}{x-(-8)}= \frac{-3-2}{-4-(-8)}\\ \\\frac{y-2}{x+8}= \frac{-5}{-4+8} \\ \\\\\frac{y-2}{x+8} = \frac{-5}{4}\\ \\Cross\:Multiply \\4(y-2) = -5(x+8)\\\\4y-8 =- 5x-40\\\\4y = -5x-40+8\\\\4y =- 5x-32\\\\\frac{4y}{4} = \frac{-5x}{4} + \frac{-32}{4} \\\\y = -\frac{5}{4}x-8$
