Subsitution
2y-x=5
minus 2y both sides
-x=5-2y
times -2 both sides
x=2y-5
subsitute 2y-5 for x in other equation
(2y-5)²+y²-25=0
expand
4y²-20y+25+y²-25=0
5y²-20y=0
factor
5y(y-4)=0
set to zero
5y=0
y=0
y-4=0
y=4
subsitute back
for y=0
x=2y-5
x=2(0)-5
x=-5
one solution is (-5,0)
for x=4
x=2y-5
x=2(4)-5
x=8-5
x=3
one solution is (3,4)
the 2 soltuions are (-5,0) and (3,4)
T= total cost= $3.30
c= cost of fruit per pound
x= # of pounds of fruit purchased
EQUATION
T= (c)(x) - $0.55 coupon
to find c, substitute $3.30 total for T
$3.30= cx - $0.55
add $0.55 to both sides
$3.85= cx
divide both sides by x
$3.85/x= c
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: I think maybe zero
Step-by-step explanation:
He made an error is step 2
3x + 18 = 2x +8
subtract 2x from each side
x + 18 = 8
