For the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule.
57. You decide to paint your kitchen green. You create the color of paint by mixing yellow and blue paints. You cannot remember how many gallons of each color went into your mix, but you know there were 10 gal total. Additionally, you kept your receipt, and know the total amount spent was $29.50. If each gallon of yellow costs $2.59, and each gallon of blue costs $3.19, how many gallons of each color go into your green mix?

- For the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 64. Men aged 20 - 29, 30 - 39, and 40-49 made up 78% of the population at a prison last year. This year, the same age groups made up 82.08% of the population. The 20 - 29 age group increased by 20%, the 30 - 39 age group increased by 2%, and the 40 - 49 age group decreased to 34 of their previous population. Originally, the 30-39 age group had 2% more prisoners than the 20—29 age group. Determine the prison population percentage for each age group last year.arrow_forwardFor the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 58. You sold two types of scarves at a farmers' market and would like to know which one was more popular. The total number of scarves sold was 56, the yellow scarf cost $10, and the purple scarf cost $11. If you had total revenue of $583, how many yellow scarves and how many purple scarves were sold?arrow_forwardFor the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior.
