At a school fete, Nicole buys 5 books and 2 CDs for $50, and Sharyn buys 2 books and 3 CDs for $31. Find the price of

i. A book
ii. A CD

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Book = $8 each

CD = $5 each

8 x 5 = 40

2 x 5 = 10

= 50

8 x 2 = 16

5 x 3 = 15

= 31

Please mark as brainliest.

Answer 2

Answer:

One book equals $8 and one CD equals $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let books be denoted as 'x' and CDs as 'y'

5x + 2y = 50    ...1

2x + 3y = 31    ...2

I usually eliminate the y variable, and to do this, you multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2, because the lowest common multiple between 2 and 3 is 6.

...1*3    and    ...2*2

15x + 6y + 150    ...3

4x + 6y = 62    ...4

Eliminate y by taking ...4 away from ...3

15x - 4x = 150 - 62

11x = 88

x = 8

Sub this value into ...1

5(8) + 2y = 50

40 + 2y = 50

Rearrange

2y = 50 - 40

2y = 10

y = 5  

This means that one book is $8 and one CD equals $5

A caterer charges $275 for 15 people and $425 for 25 people. The cost, y, is a
linear function of the number of people. Write an equation in slope-intercept
form for this situation.

Answers

Answer:

y = 15x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We set out by finding the slope

the two points give are (15,275) and (25,425)

Slope m is;

y2-y1/x2-x1 = (425-275)/25-15 = 150/10 = 15

So the equation is like;

y = 15x + b

To get b, let us use the point (15,275)

We have

275 = 15(15) + b

b = 275-225

b = 50

So the equation is;

y = 15x + 50

complete the statements below about the graphs of y=-2x and y=x

Answers

Answer:

Compared to the graph of y = x, the graph of y = -2x is steeper.

Compared to the graph of y = x, the graph of y = -2x intersects the y-axis at the same point.

Compared to the graph of y = x, the graph of y = x + ⅔ is equally steep.

Compared to the graph of y = x, the graph of y = x + ⅔ intersects the y-axis at a higher point.

18(x + 1) = -54 pls help solve this...​

Answers

Answer:

x = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

18(x + 1) = -54

to start off, subtract 18 from both sides

18 - 18(x + 1) = -54 - 18

that should give you

x + 1 = 72

(its safe to take out paranthesis from problem by now) now take away 1 from each side

x + (1 - 1) = 72 - 1

that should give you

x = 71

system using substitution or elimination).

Let c represent

Answers

Answer:

Number of Roses sold = 132

Number of Candy Grams sold = 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Roses sold = [tex]r[/tex]

Let the number of Candy Grams sold = [tex]c[/tex]

Cost of one Rose = $1.50

Cost of [tex]x[/tex] Roses = $1.50 [tex]r[/tex]

Cost of one Candy Gram = $2.00

Cost of [tex]y[/tex] Candy Grams =  [tex]\$2.00 \times c[/tex]

Total number of Roses and Candy Grams sold = 217

i.e.

[tex]r+c=217 ..... (1)[/tex]

Total cost = $368

Writing equation as per question statement:

[tex]\$1.50r+\$2.00c=\$368 ..... (2)[/tex]

Using elimination method, let us eliminate [tex]y[/tex] of the two equations.

Multiplying equation (1) with 2 and subtracting equation (2) from it:

[tex]0.50r=2\times 217 - 368\\\Rightarrow 0.50r=434 - 368\\\Rightarrow 0.50r=66\\\Rightarrow r=132[/tex]

By equation (1):

[tex]c=217-132\\c=85[/tex]

So, the answer is:

Number of Roses sold = 132

Number of Candy Grams sold = 85

Which equation could you use to find how long it will take to save for the guitar?
$253.77 + $136.27 = $23.50 w
$253.77 - w = $136.27 + $23.50
$136.27 + $23.50 w = $253.77
