Maya had $27. She spent all the money on buying 3 burgers for $x each and 2 sandwiches for $y each. If Maya had bought 2 burgers

and 1 sandwich, she would have been left with $11.
A student concluded that the price of each burger is $5 and the price of each sandwich is $6. Which statement best justifies whether the student's conclusion is correct or incorrect?

1) The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 2y = 11 and 2x + y = 16 is (5, 6).
2) The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 3x − 2y = 11 and 2x − y = 16 is (5, 6).
3) The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 2y = 27 and 2x + y = 16 is (5, 6).
4) The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 2x + 3y = 27 and x + 2y = 16 is (5, 6).

Let
x-------> the cost of the burger
y-------> the cost of the <span>sandwiches

we know that
3x+2y=27-----> equation 1
2x+y=27-11-----> 2x+y=16-----> multiply by -2-----> -4x-2y=-32--> equation 2

adds equation 1 and equation 2
</span> 3x+2y=27
-4x-2y=-32
<span>----------------
-x=27-32-----> x=5
3*5+2y=27----> 2y=27-15-----> y=6

therefore

the answer is the option
</span><span>3) The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 2y = 27 and 2x + y = 16 is (5, 6).</span>

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 6

x = 3 (Because we divide on both sides by 2 so that the x is by itself, 6/2 = 3)

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

C. Different sample proportions would result each time, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

A political polling agency wants to take a random sample of registered voters and ask whether or not they will vote for a certain candidate.

A random sample is usually an outcome of any experiment that cannot be predicted before the result.

SO;

One plan is to select 400 voters, another plan is to select 1,600 voters

If the study were conducted repeatedly (selecting different samples of people each time);

Different sample proportions would result each time, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion.  This is because a sample proportion deals with random experiments that cannot be predicted in advance and they  are  quite known to be centered about the population proportion.

alexandr402 [8]
Let x be the earnings/hour at the movie theater.
      y be the earnings/hour at the pet store

Systems of equations:

$152.50 = 10x + 8y
$171 = 8x + 10y

Solving for x and y:
x = $4.36/ hour in the movie theater
y = $13.61/ hour in the pet store.<span />
