Answer 4

To find the x-value of the solution, we need to solve the given system of equations.

First, let's rearrange the equations to solve for x in terms of y:

–x + 2y = 6
x = 2y - 6

6y = x + 18
x = 6y - 18

Now we can set the two expressions for x equal to each other and solve for y:

2y - 6 = 6y - 18
2y - 6y = - 18 + 6
-4y = -12
y = -12 / -4
y = 3

Now that we have the value of y, we can substitute it back into either equation to solve for x:

x = 2y - 6
x = 2(3) - 6
x = 6 - 6
x = 0

Therefore, the x-value of the solution is 0.

Answer 5

Let's set up an equation using the given information.

Let the measure of angle Y be represented by y.
Then, according to the problem, the measure of angle X is 30 less than twice the measure of angle Y:

X = 2Y - 30

We also know that the sum of the measures of angle X and angle Y is 90:

X + Y = 90

Now, we can substitute the expression for X from the first equation into the second equation:

(2Y - 30) + Y = 90

Combine like terms:

3Y - 30 = 90

Add 30 to both sides of the equation:

3Y = 120

Divide both sides by 3:

Y = 40

Now, we can substitute the value of Y back into the first equation to find the measure of angle X:

X = 2(40) - 30
X = 80 - 30
X = 50

Therefore, the measure of angle X is 50°.

Answer 6

Let's set up two equations to represent the information given:

L = number of large cupcakes sold
S = number of small cupcakes sold

The total number of cupcakes sold is given as 105:

L + S = 105

The total amount of money earned from the sale is $109.75:

1.25L + 0.75S = 109.75

We can use substitution or elimination to solve this system of equations. Let's use substitution:

From the first equation, we can express S in terms of L:

S = 105 - L

Substitute this expression for S into the second equation:

1.25L + 0.75(105 - L) = 109.75

Simplify:

1.25L + 78.75 - 0.75L = 109.75

Combine like terms:

0.5L + 78.75 = 109.75

Subtract 78.75 from both sides:

0.5L = 31

Divide both sides by 0.5:

L = 62

Therefore, the yearbook club sold 62 large cupcakes.

Answer 7

To solve the system of equations using substitution, we can solve one equation for one variable and substitute it into the other equation.

Let's solve the second equation for x:
x + 2y = 65
x = 65 - 2y

Now we can substitute this expression for x into the first equation:
2(65 - 2y) + 3y = 105

Simplify:
130 - 4y + 3y = 105

Combine like terms:
-4y + 3y = 105 - 130

Simplify:
-y = -25

Now, let's solve for y by multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:
y = 25

Therefore, the value of y is 25.
