9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • lamp: $80
  • end table: $140

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x and y represent the costs of a lamp and end table, respectively, the two purchases can be written as ...

  3x +2y = 520

  2x -y = 20

__

These equations can be solved many ways. If we use "elimination", we can add twice the second equation to the first to eliminate y:

  (3x +2y) +2(2x -y) = (520) +2(20)

  7x = 560 . . . . simplify

  x = 80 . . . . . . divide by 7

  y = 2x -20 = 2(80) -20 = 140

The cost of a lamp is $80; the cost of an end table is $140.

Describe when to use a series and when to use an equation.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

An equation is used when we have paired sets of data to describe how the values in one pair change when we alter the values in the other set.

On the other hand, a series gives a general formula of determining the value of the nth observation when the values have been arranged in increasing order

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation such as; y = 3x+5 models the relation between the response variable y and the predictor variable x. It tells us how y changes when x is altered by a certain magnitude. The value 3 is described as the slope while 5 is the y-intercept.

On the other hand, a series such as;  score = 2 + 3n provides a general formula that can be used to determine the score of the nth individual in a sample or population.
