I have a feeling I've seen this question before
anyway
A=number of hours that plan A is
B=number of hours that plan B is
so
on wednesday, 7hr
5A and 6B so
5A+6B=7
on thursday, 3 hours
3 of A and 2 of B
3A+2B=3
so we gots
5A+6B=7
3A+2B=3
elimination
eliminate B's
multiply 2nd equation by -3 and add to 1st equation
5A+6B=7
<u>-9A-6B=-9 +</u>
-4A+0B=-2
-4A=-2
divide both sides by -4
A=1/2
A=0.5
sub back
3A+2B=3
3(0.5)+2B=3
1.5+2B=3
minus 1.5 both sides
2B=1.5
divide by 2 both sides
B=0.75
plan A lasts 1/2 hour or 0.5 hour or 30 mins
plan B lasts 3/4 hour or 0.75 hour or 45 mins
1. 160 2. 520 3.240 hopefully they are right
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange 6x + y= -5, -6x + 12y=96 vertically:
6x + y= -5
-6x + 12y=96 Now combine like terms:
--------------------
13y = 91
Solving for y by dividing both sides by 13: y = 7
Find x by substituting 7 for y in the second equation: -6x + 12(7) = 96
Then -6x = -84 + 96, or:
-6x = 12, and so x = -2
