Answer 1

Moved to Mathematics

anyway, you want to create a system and solve it

let p = # of pizzas and b = # of burgers

Jason's order:

3p + 2b = 15.50

Susan's order:

p + 4b = 20

solve for p and b using elimination or substitution

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

Answer 7

Select the correct choices that belong in the blank for the system of equations shown below.

24x - 39 = 165

-6x +13y = -51

In order to solve this system by elimination, Stacy ____________ by ______. Then, when she adds the equations together, the x terms will cancel.

Question 4 options:

multiplies the second equation; -4


multiplies the first equation; 4


multiplies the second equation; 4


multiplies the first equation; -4

Answer 8

the second equation has a -6x and the first one has a 24x term

what do we have to multiply -6x by to turn it into -24x? (so that the terms can cancel out through addition)
