Answer:
For this scenario, I used the elimination method. Organize the equations, so it's easier to subtract from each other. My x-variable will represent the number of hot dogs and my y-variable will represent the number of sodas.
3x+2y=213
x + y =87
We need to make sure one of the monomials are alike in each equation, so we can eliminate a variable. Distribute 3 to each number/variable in the second equation.
3x+2y=213
3(x+y=87) --> 3x+3y=261
Now we can eliminate x.
3x+2y=213
- 3x+3y=261
----------------------
-y=-48
Divide -1 to both sides to get y=48. So, you sold 48 cans of soda. Now, we can find the number of hot dogs by substituting 48 into the second equation to get x+48=87. Subtract 48 to both sides to result with x=39. So, you sold 39 hot dogs.
<span>Solution can be gained by using "Product of means = Product of extremes" concept. So the information we have is 23 miles on 1 gal and 135 mile on 'x' gal.
23 : 1 :: 135 : x
As per Product of means = Product of extremes,
23 multiplied x = 135 multiplied by 1.
And x will be 135 divided by 23 which is 5.86 gal
Now, we have to convert gal to liters, 1 gal = 3.78 liters,
so 5.86 gal = 5.86 multiplied by 3.78, which is 22.15 liters.
Hence, 22.15 liters of gasoline are needed for a 135 mile trip</span>
Answer:
-4x + 10x - 12 = -3x - 39
6x - 12 = -3x - 39
9x - 12 = -39
9x = -27
x = -3
