Gabriella is making monogrammed water bottles for a charity fundraiser. The first weekend, she sold 4 large water bottles and 3

small water bottles and raised $72. The second weekend, she sold 6 large water bottles and 2 small water bottles and raised $88.
How much did she charge for large water bottles?
How much did she charge for small water bottles?

What is the system of equations that models this situation?

Which of the following is a solution to the system: (a) $10 for large water bottles and $7 for small water bottles (b) $12 for large water bottles and $8 for small water bottles or (c) $9 for large water bottles and $9 for small water bottles?

Answer: B) A large bottle costs $12, and a small one costs $8.

Where L is how many large bottles have been sold, and is how many small bottles have been sold.

In order to find out how much money the large bottle and small bottles cost, we must solve the system of equations.

Step 1: Subtract 3S from both sides

4L+3S=72\\4L=72-3S

Step 2: Divide both sides by 44.

4L=72-3S \\\\L=18-\frac{3}{4}S

Step 3: Replace L for 18-\frac{3}{4}S

6L+2S=88\\6(18-\frac{3}{4}S) +2S=88

Step 4: Simplify  

6(18-\frac{3}{4}S)+2S=88\\108-4.5S+2S=88\\108-2.5S=88

Step 5: Subtract 108 from both sides

108-2.5S=88\\-2.5S=-20

Step 6: Divide both sides by -2.5

-2.5S=-20\\S=8

Step 7: Replace S for 8

4L+3S=72\\4L+3(8)=72\\

Step 8: Divide both sides by 4

4L+24=72\\L+6=18

Step 9: Subtract 6 from both sides

L+6=18\\L=12

If a shipping box of oranges holds 275 oranges and you have 4070 oranges, how many boxes would you need?
SpyIntel [72]
You would need 15 boxes because when you divide 4070 by 275 you get 14.8 boxes. So with that in mind you cannot have an eighth of a box so you round up to the nearest whole number which in this case is 15 boxes.

What is the solution to the system of equations? Use any method you like, but be sure to show all work.
jeka57 [31]
These are known as simultaneous equations,,
2x + y= -3 take this as 1st equation
x-2y=-4 take this as 2 nd equation

therefore x - 2y= -2 should be multiplied by 2 inorder to cut off 2x and 2x from the first and second equations.

by multiplying we get 2x - 4y = -4

therefore 3rd equation should be substracted from 1st equation...

now, 2x -4y - 2x -y = -4-(-3)

therefore, -2x and +2x is cut.

as a result -5y= -1

therefore y = 1 /5

then let us find x

2x + y = -3
::: 2x + 1/5= -3
therefore 2x= -3-1/5

finally, x= -16/5÷2
then x= 8/5
