Answer:

The D cells are worth $2.20, and the C cells are worth $1.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as:

4x + 2y = 12.60

6x + 4y =20.80

Our goal is to find one variable, then use that information to find the other.

If we multiply the top function by -1.5, we get:

-6x - 3y = -18.90

We can add this to the previous equation.

  -6x - 3y = -18.90

+ 6x + 4y = 20.80

--------------------------

             y = 1.90

The C cells are worth $1.90.

Plug this value into one of the other equations and solve for x.

4x + 2y = 12.60  

4x + 2(1.90) = 12.60

4x + 3.80 = 12.60  

4x = 8.80

x = 2.20

The D cells are worth $2.20.

Check these values in the other equation.

6x + 4y = 20.80

6(2.20) + 4(1.90) = 20.80

13.20 + 7.60 = 20.80

20.80 = 20.80

Answer:

  C = $1.90 each

  D = $2.20 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  Power pack A:   4D + 2C = 12.60

  Power pack B:   6D + 4C = 20.80

Isolate any one variable:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D = 12.60 - 2C

  D = 3.15 - 0.5C

Substitution to find cost of C cell battery:

  6D + 4C = 20.80

  6(3.15 - 0.5C) + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 - 3C + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 + C = 20.80

  C = 1.90

Substitution to find cost of D cell battery:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D + 2(1.90) = 12.60

  4D + 3.8 = 12.60

  4D = 8.8

  D = 2.20

3x+y=115x-y=21 Directions: Solve each system of equations by elimination. Clearly identify your solution.
olchik [2.2K]

To solve, we will follow the steps below:

3x+y=11 --------------------------(1)



5x-y=21 ------------------------------(2)

since y have the same coefficient, we can eliminate it directly by adding equation (1) and (2)

adding equation (1) and (2) will result;

8x =32

divide both-side of the equation by 8

x = 4

We move on to eliminate x and then solve for y

To eliminate x, we have to make sure the coefficient of the two equations are the same.

We can achieve this by multiplying through equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3

The result will be;

15x + 5y = 55 ----------------------------(3)

15x - 3y =63 --------------------------------(4)

subtract equation (4) from equation(3)

8y = -8

divide both-side of the equation by 8

y = -1
