Let
x be the price for a pound of ham
y the price for a pound of cheese
<span>1.3x +0.8y = 11.28 ....(1)
1.5x +1.2y = 14.76 ....(2)
Lets multiply (1) by -1.2
Lets multiply (2) by 0.8
-1.56x -0.96y = -13.536 .....(3)
</span> 1.2x + 0.96y = 11.808 .....(4)
If we add (3) and (4)
-0.36x = -1.728 ............> x = 4.8
We substitute in (1)
1.3(4.8) +0.8y = 11.28
y = 6.3
Price per pound of ham = x = 4.8
Price per pound of cheese = y = 6.3
Answer:
729 in ^3
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is asking if that equation is the quadratic formula, then the answer is false. The reason why is that the first 'b' should be negative
The quadratic formula is

1/2 (8+4)= 6
1/2(-1+4)= 1.5
1/2 (2+4)= 3
1/2 (4+4)= 4
So the correct answer would be A(8)
