The answer would be x=4 and y=-2.
Answer:
Here, b represents one loaf of bread and m represents the one gallon of milk.
As per the statement:
Arah went to the grocery store and bought 4 loaves of bread and 1 gallon of milk for $12.
⇒
It is also given that the next week, Sarah bought 2 loaves of bread and 3 gallons of milk for $13.50.
⇒
Then; system of equation :
.....[1]
.....[2]
Solve for b and m using above system of equations.
Multiply equation [2] by 2 we get;
.....[3]
Subtract equation [1] from [3] we get;
Combine like terms;
Divide both sides by 5 we get;
m = $3
Substitute the value of m in equation [1] we get;
Subtract 3 from both sides we get;
Divide both sides by 4 we get;
b = $2.25
Therefore, cost of one loaf of bread (b) and one gallon of milk (m) are:
$2.25 ad $3
When looking at expressions like this,, you need to remember that the square root of a negative number does not exist in the set of Real Numbers. This means that there is no way to simplify this expression,, making the correct answer to your question Undefined.

Answer: Melanie swam 63 minutes more in second week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , Time taken by Melanie in first week to swim = 142 minutes
Combined time taken by her in first two weeks in swimming = 347 minutes
Now , time taken by her in second week = (Combined time of first two week) - (Time taken in first week)
= 347-142 minutes
= 205 minutes
Clearly , 205 > 142 i.e. She swam more in second week than first week./
Difference i= 205-142 = 63
Therefore, Melanie swam 63 minutes more in second week.
Answer:
<h3>#1</h3>
<u>The system of equations:</u>
- 2x + 7y = -11
- 3x + 5y = -22
Solve by elimination.
<u>Triple the first equation, double the second one, subtract the second from the first and solve for y:</u>
- 3(2x + 7y) - 2(3x + 5y) = 3(-11) - 2(-22)
- 6x + 21y - 6x - 10y = -33 + 44
- 11y = 11
- y = 1
<u>Find x:</u>
- 2x + 7*1 = -11
- 2x = -11 - 7
- 2x = -18
- x = -9
<u>The solution is:</u>
<h3>#2</h3>
<u>Simplifying in steps:</u>
- 8u - 29 > -3(3 - 4u)
- 8u - 29 > - 9 + 12u
- 12u - 8u < -29 + 9
- 4u < -20
- u < -5
