(a) System of equations are

2x+4y=14794\\3x+5y=19892\\

(b) The cost of MacBook is $2,799

The cost of iMac is $2,299

Given :

Firm purchased 2MacBook Pro notebooks and 4iMac desktops for a total order price of $14,794

they purchased 3MacBook Pro notebooks and 5 iMac desktops for a total order price of $19,892.

Let x be the cost of MacBook Pro

and y be the cost of iMac

Now frame the equation using given information

2 MacBook +4 iMac= 14794

2x+4y=14794

3 MacBook +5 iMac= 19892

3x+5y=19892

System of equations are

2x+4y=14794\\3x+5y=19892\\

To solve for x  and y , Lets solve the second equation for x

3x+5y=19892\\3x=19892-5y\\x=\frac{19892-5y}{3}

Substitute x in first equation and solve for y

2\cdot \frac{19892-5y}{3}+4y=14794\\\frac{39784+2y}{3}=14794\\\frac{3\left(39784+2y\right)}{3}=14794\cdot \:3\\39784+2y=44382\\2y=4598\\y=2299

Substitute y value in the x equation

\mathrm{\:}x=\frac{19892-5y}{3}\\x=\frac{19892-5\cdot \:2299}{3}\\x=2799

The cost of MacBook is $2,799

The cost of iMac is $2,299

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by the john to get to his uncle be x.

Let the time taken by the john to get back from his uncle be y.

So,

x+y=12 ------ equation 1

According to the given velocities:

20x=30y

x=3/2y

Put the value x=3/2y in equation 1

3/2y+y =12

3y+2y/2=12

3y+2y=12*2

5y=24

y=24/5

y=4.8h

Now put the value of y in x=3/2y

x=3/2*4.8

x=14.4/2

x=7.2h ....

raketka [301]

Answer:

j = 21 and n = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the equations:

6j + n/3 = 134

j/3 + n = 31

54j + 3n = 1206

j + 3n = 93

53j = 1113

j = 21

(21)/3 + n = 31

7 + n = 31

n = 14
