Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the cost of drinks be x
and the cost of hotdogs be y
so
3x+4y=15-------1
also
3x+y= 10.5------2
solve 1 and 2
3x+4y=15
-3x+y= 10.5
3y= 4.5
divide both sides by 3
y= 4.5/3
y= $1.5
Put y= 1.5 in 1
3x+4(1.5)=15
3x+6= 15
3x=15-6
3x= 9
x= 9/3
x= $3
Hence the cost of a drink is $3
First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.
-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18
Then, we combine the two equations.
-4x + 4x = 0
18y - 36y = -18y
-27 + 18 = -9
Our new equation is -18y = -9.
Now, divide both sides by -18.
-18y / -18 = y
-9/ -18 = 1/2
y = 1/2
We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.
Let's use 2x + 18y = -9
Plug in y.
2x + 18(1/2) = -9
2x + 9 = -9
Then, subtract 9 from both sides.
2x = -18
Divide by 2.
2x/2 = x
-18/2 = -9
x = -9
Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.
2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9
-18 + 9 = -9
Therefore, the values of x and y does work.
x = -9
y = 1/2

Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
4 more than 3: 3 + 4 = 7
5 out of 9: 5/9
the sum of 6 and 8: 6 + 8 = 14
10 less than 14: 14 - 10 = 4
the product of 3 and 4: 3 * 4 = 12
the ratio of 2 to 3: 2/3
10 decreased by 8: 10 - 8 = 2
the quotient of 23 and 25: 23/23
3 increased by 33: 3 + 33 = 36
50% of 32: 50% * 32 = 0.5 * 32 = 16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8/3=3(c+5/3)
multiply both sides by 3
8=9(c+5/3)
divide both sides by 9
8/9=c+5/3
subtract 5/3 from both sides
c=8/9-5/3
change 5/3 to 15/9
c=8/9-15/9
c=-7/9
