Answer:
x = 0.1, y = 0.075
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
27x + 24y = 4.5 → (1)
1.5x + y = 0.225 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 24 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 36x - 24y = - 5.4 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
- 9x = - 0.9 ( divide both sides by - 9 )
x = 0.1
Substitute x = 0.1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (2)
1.5(0.1) + y = 0.225
0.15 + y = 0.225 ( subtract 0.15 from both sides )
y = 0.075
Answer:
$0.31
Step-by-step explanation:
1.55/5=0.31
So if each ear of corn cost $0.31 than 5 times .31 should equal $1.55
5x.31=1.55
Yes!
