Two pairs of socks and a pair of slippers cost $30. Five pairs of socks and a pair of slippers cost $42. Let u represent the cost of a pair of socks and let y represent the cost of a pair of slippers.

Identify the system of equations that represents the situation and identify the solution to the system of equation.

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given in the question can be turned into an equation as:

2u + y = 30 i

5u + y = 42 ii

Subtract i from ii

3u = 12

u = 12/3 = 4

A pair of socks cost $4

Since 2u + y = 30

2(4) + y = 30

8 + y = 30

y = 30 - 8 = 22

A pair of slippers cost $22

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
