You need to buy 8 packages of meat for a cookout. A package of hot dogs costs $2.19 and a package of hamburgers costs $5.89. You
spend a total of $28.62. Write a system of equations and solve to find the number of packages of each type of meat purchased.

Answer:
1.89x + 5.19y = 31.62.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pagke of hot dags be x
Let the pakage of hamburgers be y
Now they total up tp 8 packages.
xEliminate the cost
x+y=8
y=8-x
Cost of hotdogs = $1.89
Cost of hamburgers = $5.19
1.89x+5.19y=31.62
1.89x+5.19(8-x)=31.62
1.89x+41.52-5.19=31.62
-3.3x=--9.9
x=3
y=8-3
y=5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
180° rotation about the origin changes the signs of the coordinates.
(x, y) → (-x, -y)
It is a reflection over the y-axis and a reflection over the x-axis (in either order).

Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
20miles increased by 30%=new mileage added
20x.3= 6
6 miles more than his previous distance so...
6+20= 26
NOTE you can also use 1.3 instead of .3 as the percent to get the answer with out addition.
Since both values are positive, it is in quadrant 1
