What is the solution to this system of equations? 5x + 2y= 29 x + 4y = 13

A x = 5, y = 3
B. x=2, y=5
C. X= 5, y = 2
D. x= 3, y = 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 2y = 29 → (1)

x + 4y = 13 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

- 10x - 4y = - 58 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 9x + 0 = - 45

- 9x = - 45 ( divide both sides by - 9 )

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

5 + 4y = 13 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

4y = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 2

Solution is x = 5, y = 2 → C

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
