Answer:
1. 5
2. 1.29
3. 9.90
Step-by-step explanation:
They are buying 5 of each thing, so multiply it by 5.
The diced tomatoes cost $1.29.
When you solve the equation, you get 9.9. Convert that to money, and you have $9.90
1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
⇒ -9x=27
2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18
2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3
3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6
Answer: (-3,6)
Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.
Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>
