Answer:
y = 7
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
14x+7y=217, then 14x = 217 - 7y
14x+3y=189, then 14x = 189 - 3y
217 - 7y = 189 - 3y
add 7y to each side of the equation:
4y + 189 = 217
subtract 1890 from each side:
4y = 28
divide both sides by 4:
y = 7
14x + 3(7) = 189
subtract 21 from each side:
14x = 168
divide both sides by 14:
x = 12
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4 : 8 = x : 6, expressing in ratio form, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
8x = 24 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 3
Thus 4 : 8 = 3 : 6
Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the cost of drinks be x
and the cost of hotdogs be y
so
3x+4y=15-------1
also
3x+y= 10.5------2
solve 1 and 2
3x+4y=15
-3x+y= 10.5
3y= 4.5
divide both sides by 3
y= 4.5/3
y= $1.5
Put y= 1.5 in 1
3x+4(1.5)=15
3x+6= 15
3x=15-6
3x= 9
x= 9/3
x= $3
Hence the cost of a drink is $3
Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
the word bisects means that it cuts in half (this is how I understand it, not the official definition :D)
so that means
