Answer:

q= 6

r= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 1st column by -2:

-30q+8r=-124

5q+8r=86

Subtract 2nd column from the first column:

-35q= -210

Solve for q:

q=6

Subtract q=6 by any of the two equations, so:

-30q+8r=-124

-30*6+8r=-124

Solve for r:

r=7

Anton [14]

Answer:

$283

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x - for $2 notes

x + 16 - for $5 notes

EQUATION:

(x) + (x + 16) = 74

2x = 74 - 16

2x = 58

x = 29

SUBSTITUTE

x = 29 pieces of $2 notes

x + 16 = 29 + 16 = 45 pieces of $5 notes

TOTAL VALUE IS:

(29 x $2) + (45 x $5) = $283

Scilla [17]

Answer:

31 scientific calculators

54 graphing calculators

Step-by-step explanation:

X = number of $15 calculators

Y = number of $67 calculators

X+Y = 85 then X = 85-Y

15X+67Y = 4083

substitute for X

15(85-Y)+67Y = 4083

1275 - 15Y + 67Y = 4083

reduce

52Y = 2808

Y = 54

X = 31
