Answer: Add the equations to eliminate k
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding the equations, you get 2b=18, which you can solve for b. Afterward, you can substitute this value of b back into either equation to solve for k.
<h3>
Answer: 2x+4y+12z (choice B)</h3>
Work Shown:
x = amount of rent paid per half year
2x = amount of rent paid annually
y = amount spent on groceries per quarter
4y = amount spent on groceries annually
z = amount spent on a transit pass monthly
12z = amount spent on transit pass annually
2x+4y+12z = total amount of money spent annually
= (3/8) (16x + - 24)
=(3/8) (16x) +(3/8)(-24)
=6x - 9
