Answer:
$2
Step-by-step explanation:
Total money Shania was having = $20.
After buying raffle tickets she was having a total of $6.
Thus ,
The money she spent on the raffle tickets = Money she was having initially -
Money she was having after
purchasing tickets .
= $20 - $6
= $14.
Thus She spent a total of $14 on tickets .
Now , number of tickets she bought = 7.
So, cost of each ticket = =
= $2.
Thus , each ticket costs $2 for Shania.
Answer:
Number of ducks = 37
Number of pigs = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
x be the number of ducks
y be the number of pigs
According to given statement;
x+y=55 Eqn 1
2x+4y=146 Eqn 2 (As ducks will have 2 legs and pigs will have 4)
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2
2(x+y=55)
2x+2y=110 Eqn 3
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
(2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=146-110
2x+4y-2x-2y=36
2y=36
Dividing both sides by 2
Putting y=18 in Eqn 1
x+18=55
x = 55-18
x = 37
Hence,
Number of ducks = 37
Number of pigs = 18
Answer:
<u><em>(-1,1)</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by either graphing and finding ther point the lines intersect, or mathematically, I'll do both.
<u>Graphing:</u>
<u>Mathematically:</u>
−2x + 4y = 6
y = 2x + 3
See the attached graph. The lines intersect at (-1,1)
--------------------
I'll rearrange the first equation (to make it easier for me):
−2x + 4y = 6
4y = 2x + 6
y = (1/2)x + 1.5
Now lets substitute the second equation into the first so that we can eliminate y:
y = 2x + 3
[(1/2)x + 1.5] = 2x + 3
- (3/2)x = (3/2)
x = -1
If x = -1:
y = 2(-1) + 3
y = 1
The solution is x = -1 and y = 1, or (-1,1)
=================
Both approaches give us (-1,1), the solution to the system of equations. It is the only point that satisfies both equations.
