Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
10x+2y=42
5x+y=20
Multiply the second equation by -2 to use elimination
-2(5x+y)=20*-2
-10x -2y = -40
Add this to the first equation
10x+2y=42
-10x -2y = -40
--------------------------
0 = 2
This is never true. This means there are no solutions
To find the total of what you sold for each package, you'll need to write two equations. Know that x = paper plate packages and y = utensil packages.
First, x + y = 15 shows that there has to be fifteen packages, and 8x + 5y = 90 shows the $ made from selling a certain number of packages.
Next, you can solve by substitution, so change x + y = 15 to y = 15 - x.
To find our x, substitute the y in 8x + 5y = 90 to get
8x + 5(15 - x) = 90
Distribute: 8x + 75 - 5x = 90
Combine the X's and subtract the 75: 3x = 15
Divide the 3: x = 5
Now with our x, we can put 5 into the original equation x + y = 15 to get 5 + y = 15. Subtracting the 5, we get y = 10.
So, you have delivered 5 paper plate packages and 10 utensil packages.
Answer: False
Step-by-step explanation:
You didn't give the coordinate plane that I was supposed to use while helping you.
Answer:
There could be any number of dimensions as long as the two dimensions multiply to 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
One example of this would be 2 by 4/9
2 * 4/9 = 8/9
