Answer:Well, I don't know what you got so I can't tell you if it is right.
If it works in both equations, it depends of whether your equations are set up correctly.
Here is how I would do this problem.
Let x = no. of hot dogs,y = number of sodas.
First equation is just about the number of things.
x + y = 15
Second equation is about the cost of things.
1.5 x + .75 y = 18
solve x+y = 15 for y y = 15-x substitute into second equation
1.5x + .75(15 - x) = 18
You should get the correct answer for number of hot dogs if you solve this correctly. Put your answer in the x + y =15 equation to get y. Then put both x and y into the cost equation and check your answer.
Hope this helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark received £ 132
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that £440 is divided between David, Mark & Henry
Let "d" be the share of david
Let "m" be the share of mark
Let "h" be the share of henry
Total amount is 440
Therefore,
share of david + share of mark + share of henry = 440
d + m + h = 440 ------- eqn 1
<em><u>David gets twice as much as Mark</u></em>
d = 2m ----- eqn 2
<em><u>Mark gets three times as much as Henry</u></em>
m = 3h
------ eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>
Thus Mark received £ 132
Concentric circles because if a line is tangent to one circle, it would only intersect teh other
Let use h= hotdogs price and c=chips price
we know that
4h +4c= 17
5h+3c=17.75
t use the elimination method we will multiply the first equation by 5 and the second one by (-4)
20h +20c=85
-20h -12c= -71
8c=14, we will divide by 8 both side and c=1.75, so a bag of potato chips cost $ 1.75
now we will substitute the c in the first equation
4h+7=17 therefore 4h=17-7, 4h=10, h=2.50
a bag of potato chips is 1.75
a hot dog costs 2.50
