Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Answer to Problem 14MCQ

The cost of a DVD is $20 and cost of a book is $15 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Main St. Media sells all DVDs for one price and all books for another price. Alex bought 4 DVDs and 6 books for $170 while Matt bought 3 DVDs and 8 books for $180 .

Calculation:

Consider the provided information that Main St. Media sells all DVDs for one price and all books for another price. Alex bought 4 DVDs and 6 books for $170 while Matt bought 3 DVDs and 8 books for $180 .

Let the cost of one DVD be $xand the cost of one book be $y.

The system of equations that will represent the given set of information is,

  4x+6y=1703x+8y=180

Use the method of elimination to solve the system above.

Multiply 4x+6y=170 by 3 and 3x+8y=180 by −4 and then add both the equations.

  3(4x+6y)=3(170)12x+18y=510

  −4(3x+8y)=−4(180)−12x−32y=−720

Add both the equations,

  12x+18y=510−12x−32y=−720+0−14y=−210

Therefore,

  −14y=−210y=15

Now substitute y=15 in the equation 4x+6y=170 ,

  4x+6(15)=1704x+90=170x=170−904x=20

Therefore, solution is the coordinate pair, (20,15) .

Thus, the cost of a DVD is $20 and cost of a book is $15 .
