Monica’s school band held a car wash to raise money for a trip to a parade in New York City. After washing 125 cars, they made $775 from a combination of $5.00 quick washes and $8.00 premium washes. This system of equations models the situation. x + y =125 5x + 8y = 775

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex] x+y = 125[/tex]   (1)

[tex] 5x+8y = 775[/tex]   (2)

We can solve for y from equation (1) and we got:

[tex] y = 125-x[/tex]   (3)

And replacing (3) into (2) we got:

[tex] 5x +8(125-x) = 775[/tex]

And solving for x we got:

[tex] 1000-3x = 775[/tex]

[tex] 3x= 225[/tex]

[tex] x=75 [/tex]

And solving for y from (3) we got:

[tex] x= 125-75 =50[/tex]

And the solution would be x = 50 and y =75

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have the following system of equations:

[tex] x+y = 125[/tex]   (1)

[tex] 5x+8y = 775[/tex]   (2)

We can solve for y from equation (1) and we got:

[tex] y = 125-x[/tex]   (3)

And replacing (3) into (2) we got:

[tex] 5x +8(125-x) = 775[/tex]

And solving for x we got:

[tex] 1000-3x = 775[/tex]

[tex] 3x= 225[/tex]

[tex] x=75 [/tex]

And solving for y from (3) we got:

[tex] x= 125-75 =50[/tex]

And the solution would be x = 50 and y =75
