5x + 60y = 35
x +y = 1.5 : rewrite as x = 1.5-y and substitute this formula for x in the first one:
5(1.5-y) + 60y = 35
distribute:
7.5 - 5y + 60y = 35
combine like terms:
7.5 + 55y = 35
subtract 7.5 from both sides:
55y = 27.5
divide both sides by 55 to solve for y
y = 27.5 / 55 = 0.5
now substiute 0.5 for y in the 2nd equation:
x + 0.5 = 1.5
x = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1

Graph A because the graph starts out at 10 on week one and goes up by ten each week
The scale that will produce the smallest drawing would be b) 1mm:50m.
First, I converted all the measurements to centimeters:
a) 1cm:500cm
b) 0.01cm:5000cm
c) 5cm:1000cm
d) 10cm:2500cm
Then, you divide the scales:
a) 0.002
b) 0.000002
c) 0.005
d) 0.004
B is the smallest number, meaning it will be the smallest scale.
