Two families are shopping for a camping trip. The first family buys 3 flashlights and 4 sleeping bags at a cost of $118. The sec
Sliva [168]

Answer:

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

y= $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of a flashlight

Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

Multiply the first equation by -5

-5(3x +4y) = -5*118

-15x -20y = -590


Multiply the second equation by 3

3(5x+6y) =3*180

15x + 18y = 540

Add the modified equations together.

We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x

-15x -20y = -590

15x + 18y = 540

----------------------------

-2y = -50

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -50/-2

y =25

Each sleeping bag costs $25

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Approximately 25p (please change to pounds by yourself I'm not European, sorry).

Ok so according to my research its 100 pence to one pound. Which will mean that 25p in pounds is £ 00.25

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>let's say:</h3><h3>10p= <em>x</em></h3><h3>20p=<em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em></h3><h3>50p= <em>z</em><em> </em></h3><h3>'3 fewer 20p (<em>y</em><em>)</em><em> </em>coins than 10p (<em>x</em>) coins'</h3><h3>Therefore:</h3><h3>y-3=<em>x</em><em> </em></h3><h3>and <em>y</em>= <em>x</em>+3</h3><h3>'7 more 50p coins (<em>z</em>) than 10p coins (<em>x</em>)'</h3><h3>That is:</h3><h3><em>z</em>+7= <em>x</em></h3><h3><em>z</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x-7</em></h3><h3>'altogether are 61 coins'</h3><h3><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>y</em><em>+</em><em>z</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em>61 </h3><h3>(substitute for y and z)</h3><h3><em>x</em><em> </em>+ <em>x</em><em> </em>+ 3 + <em>x</em><em> </em>- 7 = 61</h3><h3><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>3</em><em>-7</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em>61</h3><h3>3<em>x</em><em> </em>- 4= 61</h3><h3>3<em>x</em>= 61 + 4</h3><h3>3<em>x</em>=65</h3><h3><em>x</em>= 65÷3</h3><h3><em>x</em>= (approximately) 21.6 </h3><h3>(Substitute <em>x</em><em> </em>in <em>y</em><em> </em>and <em>z</em>)</h3><h3><em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>+</em>3</h3><h3><em>y</em><em> </em>= 21.6 + 3 = 24.6 (approximately 25)</h3><h3><em>z</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em>-7</h3><h3><em>z</em><em>=</em><em> </em>21.6-7= 14.6 (approximately 15)</h3><h3>y= 20p </h3><h3>y= 25p (approximately)</h3><h3 /><h3><u>Check</u><u> </u></h3><h3>x+y+z= ?</h3><h3>21.6 + 24.6 + 14.6= 60.8 (approximately 61)</h3>

(Sorry I couldn't change to pounds)

And I tried to explain as much as possible, you can ask if you're confused.
