John paid $222 for four hours of skiing and two hours boating. he paid $213 for two hours skiing and three hours boating. what is the cost pero hour of each activity?

Skiing costs $30 per hour and Boating costs $51 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost per hour of skiing be x and cost per hour of boating be y. Let's dissect the problem into 2 simultaneous equations.

"John paid $222 for four hours of skiing and two hours boating":

"He paid $213 for two hours skiing and three hours boating":

Now, if we solve for x in the 2nd equation and plug it in the 1st equation, we will have the value for y. Work shown below.

Hence, y = 51

Now, substituting this y value into the 1st equation and solving for x will give us the value of x.

Hence, skiing costs $30 per hour and boating costs $51 per hour.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
