Answer 9

We need to use the information they gave us, and make 2 equations and solve them.

Answer 10

idk how to do elimination and system of equations

Answer 11

ill try my best

Answer 12

hours of restaurant is the total of 11 hours and gets total of $58

Answer 15

Key information:
He earns $5 per hour babysitting and $6 per hour at the restaurant.
Variables x= # hours at restaurant y= # hours worked babysitting
Dale baby-sat and worked at a restaurant for a total of 11 hours.

Answer 16

So one equation we can get from that information is, it says he works for a total of 11 hours.

And it tells us that x is hours worked at a restaurant and y is hours worked babysitting.

So we get the equation
\(\sf x+y=11\)

Answer 17

And it says that he makes $5 per hour for babysitting and $6 per hour for wokring in the restaraunt.

And he gets a total of $58

So our second equation is
\(\sf 6x+5y=58\)

Answer 18

And solve those 2 equations. And whatever value you get for x is the number of hours he worked at the restaurant. And y is the value of how many hours he worked babysittingg

Answer 19

so i will get two different answers??

Answer 20

@perl

Answer 21

no. You will get one answer for x. And one answer for y. You are supposed to get two answers.

Answer 22

oh like subitute it

Answer 23

he answer for this equation i think its x+y=-1 i think thats the answer -1

Answer 24

**the

Answer 25

hello

Answer 26

Solve these two equations for x and y.

\(\sf x+y=11\)
\(\sf 6x+5y=58\)

Answer 27

You can graph the 2 equation using Desmos, and find the point where they intersect which is (x,y) and your answer for x is the point (which is x) and for y is y.

Answer 28

so the answer is -1

Answer 29

for this equation 6x+5y=58 when i graph it said 12 and 10 but idk which one it is

Answer 30

hello

Answer 31

@TheSmartOne hello??

Answer 32

sorry

Answer 33

At what point do they intersect at?

Answer 34

12 and 10

Answer 35

Let's take a zoom in to that graph: http://prntscr.com/6ij86s

Answer 36

oh nevermind its 3,8

Answer 37

Exactly!

Answer 38

so would it just only be 3

Answer 39

And \(\sf (3,8)\) is in the form of \(\sf (x,y)\)

So \(\sf x=3\\y=8\)

Answer 40

so it would just be 3 for this equation 6x+5y= 58

Answer 41

hello? @TheSmartOne

Answer 42

hello

Answer 43

The question wants two answers.

It wants 2 answers. One for how many hours you worked at the restaurant (x) and one for how many hours you worked babysitting (y).

Answer 44

so the two answers are -1 and 3 ?? im right or no

Answer 45

And \(\sf (3,8)\) is in the form of \(\sf (x,y)\)

So \(\sf x=3\\y=8\)

Answer 46

for the two equations ??

Answer 47

or just one ?? last question

Answer 48

For the 2 equations.

Answer 49

oh ok thanks sorry for bothering you and thats the solution right x=3 and y=8 right thats the solution thanks alot for helping me
