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

tresset_1 [31]
Since you have to mix all of it together, the whole cocktail is 20+10+15=45.
And the portion that is coconut milk is 15ml. So that means there is 15 out of 45 or 15/45 coconut milk in the cocktail. Then the simpelest form is 1/3.

Solve (x+y) if x=-1/2 and y=-3
bixtya [17]

Answer:

-3\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve

(x+y)

For x=-1/2 and y=-3

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the expression above

x+y=(-\frac{1}{2})+(-3)

Remember that

(+1)(-1)=-1

so

x+y=-\frac{1}{2}-3=\frac{-1-6}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}

Convert to mixed number

-\frac{7}{2}=-\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=-3\frac{1}{2}

Please help me solve this
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First you make the denominator on the fractions the same

3 * 2 = 6

Multiply the number the same for the numerator

3 * 1 = 3

so the fraction is 3/6 since 3/6 = 1/2

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

she has 1/6 pipe left
