Answer: $10
Step by step explanation:
Let the cost of the green fabric be g
Then, the cost of the blue fabric will be g+2.
The equation will be:
5b + 8g = 62
where, b = blue and g = green
Since b = g+2, this will be:
5b + 8g = 62
5(g+2) + 8g = 62
5g + 10 + 8g = 62
Collect like terms
5g + 8g = 62 - 10
13g = 52
Divide both side by 13
13g/13 = 52/13
g = 4
Green yard cost $4
Since blue = g + 2 = 4+2 = $6
Blue yard cost $6
The combined cost will be:
= $4 + $6
= $10
