Harry had $32. He spent all the money buying three notebooks for x dollars each and four packs of index cards for y dollars each

. If Harry had bought five notebooks and five packs of index cards, he would have run short by $18. The following system of equations models this scenario: 3x 4y = 32 5x 5y = 50 Use the system of equations to solve for x and y. (8, 2) (1, 5) (2, 8) (5, 1).

Answer:

x = notebooks

y = indexboks

3x+4y=32 ( here is spent all money so I add 32 here )

5x+5y=50

by elemination method

3x+4y=32×5

5x+5y=50×4 ( here I'm going to eliminate y )

15 x+20y= 160

20x+20y= 200

- - = -

____________

-5x = -40

x = - 40 / -5

x = 8

here - × - = + so iam taking positive 8

now substitute the value of x in any equation

3×8+4y = 32

24 + 4y = 32

4y = 32-24

y = 8 / 4

y = 2

CHECKING

SUBSTITUTE BOTH VALUES IN ANY EQUATION

5×8+5×2 = 50

40 + 10 = 50

50 = 50

I SUBSTITUTE IN 2ND EQUATION

Y varies directly as x and y =18 when x=1/2 write an equation that relates y and x
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

y = 36x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x, then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 18 when x = \frac{1}{2}, thus

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{18}{\frac{1}{2} } = 36

y = 36x ← equation of variation
