Answer:
x=8
y=16
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2y=48
3x+y=40
Ther is many ways to solve this, one of them is clearance:
WE CLEAR AN UNLOCKED (X) AND REPLACE IT IN THE OTHER
x= (40-y)/3
2[(40-y)/3] +2y=48
(80-2y)/3 +2y=48
(80-2y+6y)/3=48
80+4y=48(3)
4y=144
y= 144/4
y=16
x=(40-y)/3
x=(40-16)/3
x=24/3
x=8
For some reason I can't see the picture. Can you try sending it again?
Cost of fuel = 30% of $400 000 = 30/100 x 400000 = $120 000
Fuel amount = $120 000/$1.5 = 80 000 liters
new cost of fuel = 80000 x $1.6 = $144 000
increase in cost = 144000 - 120000 = $24000
So the increase in petrol price increases the operating cost by $24000
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Represent Alice with A, her friend with F and you with Y.
From the question, we have:

--- Twice as much Alice means 2 times Alice's earnings
--- 2 less than her friend
Required
Determine the total amount

Substitute
for A in


Substitute
for F in 

The total amount is calculated by adding the earnings of Alice, her friend and you



<em>Hence, the total earnings is 5d - 2</em>
