Fittoniya [83]3 years ago

Answer:

15x - 4y =-50 -----(i)

3x - 2y=-16 --------(ii)

Using Substitution

From (i)

15x=4y-50

x=4y-50/15

Substitute x=4y-50/[15] into eqn (ii)

3x - 2y= -16

3[4y-50]/15 - 2y =-16

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fraction

3(4y - 50) - 30y=-240

12y - 150 -30y=-240

12y-30y=-240+150

-18y = -90

y=90/18

y=5.

Substitute into any eqn of choice to get x

3x - 2y=-16

3x - 2(5)=-16

3x - 10=-16

3x=-16+10

3x=-6

x=-6/3

x=-2.

x= -2

y=5

Answer: 11 boxes of cards for $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Brennan's equation would be

y=6x+6

Gabriel's Equation would be

y=5x+17

when they spend the same amount the equations will be equal

6x+6=5x+17

x+6= 11

x=11

so 11 boxes they would spend the same

To figure out cost, put 11 into the first equations

y=6(11)+6= 66+6= 72

y=5(11)+17= 55+17 = 72

so they each spent $72

Mateo, a 31-year-old nonsmoker ($5.50), wants to purchase $100,000 in coverage for himself and $75,000 for his spouse, who is fe
igomit [66]

Answer: B. $32.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The premiums listed in brackets are for every $25,000 of coverage.

Mateo wants a $100,000 coverage so we need to divide this by $25,000 to see how much more he will have to pay:

= 100,000 / 25,000

= 4

Mateo will have to pay 4 times the $5.50 for himself:

= 4 * 5.50

= $22.00

For his spouse who requires $75,000, he will have to pay:

= 75,000 / 25,000

= 3

= 3 * 3.50

= $10.50

Total Mateo is to pay for both his spouse and himself is:

= 22 + 10.5

= $32.50
