You can use a system of equations to answer this question.
1st: 2.20r + 3p = 700 is showing how to get the total cost.
2nd: r + p = 300 shows how many gallons were sold.
If we solve r + p = 300 for r, we can then solve the first equation in terms of r only.
r + p =300
p = 300 - r Use this in place of p in the first equation.
2.20r + 3p = 700
2.2r + 3(300 - r) = 700
2.2r + 900 - 3r = 700
-900 -900
2.2r - 3r = -200
<u>-0.8r </u>= <u>-200</u>
-0.8 -0.8
r = 250 gallons
There were 250 regular gallons sold and 50 premium gallons sold (300 - 250).
Answer:
x = 5 and y = 1 or (5, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x -3y=7
3x-2y=13
Multiply (1st) equation by 3 and (2nd) equation by 2
6x -9y=21
6x-4y=26
----------------subtract
-5y = - 5
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into 2x -3y=7
2x -3(1)=7
2x - 3 = 7
2x = 10
x = 5
Answer
x = 5 and y = 1 or (5, 1)
Answer:
The value of 4p - 2 is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
If you multiply 4* 8 you get 32
32 - 2 = 30
