Answer:
Kayla bought 7 tacos and 10 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hotdogs be x.
Let the number of tacos be y.
i) It is given that x = y + 3
ii) It is also given that 3.5x + 4y = 63, therefore 7x + 8y = 126
iii) substituting the value of x from i) in ii) we get 7(y + 3) + 8y = 126
therefore 15y + 21 = 126
therefore 15y = 105
therefore y = 7
Therfore Kayla bought 7 tacos
iv) Using the value of y from iii) in i) we x = 7 + 3 = 10
Therefore Kayla bought 10 hotdogs
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
2y+2=36
Let's solve this equation for 2y first. This means get 2y by itself.
So to get 2y by itself I need to undo that addition of 2 next to it.
The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.
I'm going to subtract 2 on both sides:
2y =36-2
2y =34
Now we want to get y by itself so we divide both sides by 2 since division and multiplication are inverse operations:
y= 34/2
y= 17
Answer:
First multiply the first two terms so (-0.5)(-1.2) = 0.6 as product of two negative numbers is positive number.

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+8y=12 3x-8y=11
If we have to solve by substitution, Take the first equation and divide by 2
2x/2 + 8y/2 =12/2
x+4y = 6
Then subtract 4y from each side
x = 6 -4y
Then substitute this into the second equation
This is best solved by elimination
2x+8y=12
3x-8y=11
----------------
5x = 36
x = 36/5
