The cost of 5 dresses and 2 belts is $48. The cost of 3 dresses and 2 belts is $32. Find the cost of a dress and a belt. Let x denote the cost of a dress and y denote the cost of a belt. A: x = $8, y = $4
B: x = $5, y = $4
C: x = $7, y = $10
D :x = $4, y = $5

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
