Answer:
the dryer costs $425
Step-by-step explanation:
x = washer
y = dryer
x + y = 803
x = y - 47
using the second equation a substitute in the first equation we get
y - 47 + y = 803
2y = 850
y = $425
FYI
x = y - 47 = 425 - 47 = $378
-3x + 4y = 12
x - y = 1....x = y + 1
-3(y + 1) + 4y = 12
-3y - 3 + 4y = 12
-3y + 4y = 12 + 3
y = 15
x - y = 1
x - 15 = 1
x = 1 + 15
x = 16
one solution (16,15)
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
The correct sequence of operations when solving
negative one over five (x − 25) = 7 would be multiply each side by −5, and adding
25 to each side.
If you would like to know how many feet of fencing does Laurel need in all, you can calculate this using the following steps:
square garden: 4 * 50 feet = 200 feet
3 square rose beds: 3 * 10.5 feet * 4 = 12 * 10.5 feet = 126 feet
200 feet + 126 feet = 326 feet
Laurel will need 326 feet of fencing.
