Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
Answer:
they all got paid 474$ all together
Step-by-step explanation:
destiny worked 12 hours and made 240.17$
Stephanie worked 12 hours and made 126.17$
Marco worked 12 hours and made 108.17$
this all adds up to 474.50$ which is exactly half of 949$
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable of y from one side of the equation.
-14=5(3y-10)-5y
<u>First, switch sides.</u>

Use the distributive property.
<u>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:</u>
A(B-C)=AB-AC
5(3y-10)
Multiply by expand.
5*3y=15y
5*10=50
15y-50-5y
15y-5=10y
= 10y-50
10y-50=-15
Add by 50 from both sides.
10y-50+50=-15+50
Solve.
10y=35
Then, you divide by 10 from both sides.
10y/10=35/10
Solve.
Divide the numbers from left to right.
35/10=7/2
y=7/2
Divide is another option.
7/2=3.5

- <u>Therefore, the correct answer is y=7/2.</u>
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Answer:
y = 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The correct answer is $150.
Step-by-step explanation: If you did not use the coupons while shopping you would have spent $150. The method to calculate this is to divide the amount that you paid by the percentage that you paid.
The formula that you need to use is $120/.8 = $150.
