ANSWER
EXPLANATION
First equation:
Second equation:
Let us equate the two equations and solve for x.
This implies that;
Group similar terms to obtain:
Simplify:
Divide both sides by 3
Put x=-2 into any of the equations.
I will put x=-2 into the first equation:
This implies that,
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
if a=15
then, 2(a-5)+2= 2(15-5)+2 = 2(10)+2= 20+2=22
let the price of pizza and soda( per 2 litre bottle) be x and y
from 1st condition
12x+2y=137.6.....(1)
from 2nd condition
x+y =11.95.......(2)
multiply eq. (2) by 2
2x+2y=23.9.....(3)
subtracting (1) and (3)
12x+2y=137.6
2x+2y= 23.9
10x = 113.7
x=113.7/10
x=11.37
2(11.37)+2y=23.9
22.74+2y=23.9
2y=23.9-22.7
2y=1.2
y=0.6
So the prices of the pizza and soda are 11.37 and 0.6 dollars.
