15x+25y=1875
Let
y=95-x
15x+25 (95-x)=1875
Solve for x
15x+2375-25x=1875
15x-25x=1875-2375
-10x=-500
X=500/10
X=50 the number of $15 items

Y=95-50=45 the number of $25 items

marissa [1.9K]

Given

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham & pays a total of $30, turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham.

find out the combined cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham

To proof

As given in the question

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham

total pay by jacinta = $30

let us assume that the price of the ham = x

as given in the question

turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham

turkey costs becomes = x - 1.50

then the equation becomes

30 = 4 (x - 1.50) + 2x

30 = 4x + 2x - 6

36 = 6x

x = 6

thus

ham cost per pound = $6

turkey cost per pound = 6 - 1.50

                                    = $ 4.5

Now find out

cost of 1 pound of turkey + 1 pound of ham = $ 6 + $ 4.5

                                                                       = $ 10.5

Hence proved

The equation 3w + 4j = 39 is used to determine the number of water bottles w and the number of juice bottles j that can be bough
jarptica [38.1K]

Juice bottles are J, replace j with 6 in the equation and solve for w:

3w + 4(6) = 39

3w + 24 =39

Subtract 24 from both sides:

3w = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

w = 15/3

w = 5

You can buy 5 water bottles.
