Simplifying
7x + 2y = 16
Solving
7x + 2y = 16
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
7x + 2y + -2y = 16 + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
7x + 0 = 16 + -2y
7x = 16 + -2y
Divide each side by '7'.
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y
Simplifying
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y
Answer:
2,3,5,then the last one
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of jacket was $24.54
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Cost of jacket = x
Cost of pair of shoes = y
According to given statement;
x+y=52.95 Eqn 1
x = y-3.87 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 2

Putting y=28.41 in Eqn 2,

The price of jacket was $24.54
