Think of this situation as a system of equations.
let y be the price of hotdogs
let x be the price of hamburgers
5y + 2x = 8
2y + 5x = 9.50
now use your solution method of choice
substitution, elimination, matrices, etc
8 / 200 = 4 / 100 = 0.04 ;
Answer:
Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead
Step-by-step explanation:
Mariana workings:
-3(2x - 4) = -12
-6x - 12 = -12
Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead
-6x = 0
x=0
Correct workings:
-3(2x - 4) = -12
-6x + 12 = - 12
-6x = -12 - 12
-6x = -24
x = -24/-6
x = 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In parallelogram DEFG,
DH = x + 1
HF = 3y
GH = 3x - 4
and HE = 5y + 1
Solution: Since, DH,HF, GH and HE represents the diagonals of the parallelogram and we know that the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other, therefore
x+1=3y (1)
3x-4=5y+1 (2)
Multiply equation (1) with 3 and then subtract equation (2) from it, we get
3x+3-3x+4=9y-5y-1
7=4y-1
y=2
Substituting the value of y=2 in equation (1), we get
x+1=3(2)
x=5
Therefore, the value of x and y are 5 and 2 respectively.
