Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
6 bars of soap = $1
x bars of soap = $9
We need to multiply both sides of the equation by the same amount so that $9 is on the right.
$1 x 9 = $9
6 x 9 = 54
So, you can buy 54 soaps with $9.
Hope this makes sense. Feel free to ask further if need be.
Well if you're wanting to use substitution, you first have to end up with one term on either side of the equation. Use the second one as it's easiest.
So: x-2y=11, so find -2y as there is a -2y in the first equation.
then that becomes -2y=11-x. then sub that into equation 1, and you get:
-x+11-x=-13, which equals to -2x+11=-13, which is -2x=-24, so therefore
x=12. then chuck the x into any of the equations to find what y equals.
hope this helps!
