Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = 9 → (1)
x + 5y = 8 → (2)
multiplying (2) by - 2 then adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x
multiply (2) by - 2
- 2x - 10y = - 16 → (3)
add 1(1) and (3) term by term
(2x - 2x) + (3y - 10y) = (9 - 16)
- 7y = - 7 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 in either (1) or (2) and solve for x
(1) : 2x + 3 = 9 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
Solution is (3, 1 )
Answer:
$16.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Do 3.99 times 2 to get 7.98
And then do 4.49 times 2 to get 8.98
Add the results together to get 16.96
So first I would say, what if all of them were dimes, how far away would it be from $14?
So 92 coins * 10 cents = $9.20
So it's 4.80 dollars away from 14 dollars.
So if we were to switch one to a quarter, it would increase by 0.15 cents.
So we want to see how many increases we need to reach 4.80 dollars more.
4.80/0.15 = 32
So there are 32 quarters and 60 dimes.
10 because x+x = 20
a+b=c
Answer:
y=0.5x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides by 2 which will give you y=0.5x+3.
