Answer:
x=4 and y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1) 3x+8y=20
Equation 2) 5x+3y=23
Equation 1) 5(3x+8y=20 )
Equation 2) 3(5x+3y=23)
15x+40y=100
15x+9y=69
(Take away 40y from 9y and 100 from 69)
31y = 31
y=1
Substitute y=1 into equation 1)
3x+8=20
(Take away 8 from both sides)
3x=12
(Divide by 3)
x=4
Option A: 156 + 179 + 25 + 25 = $385
Option B: 334 + 15 + 15 = $364
Option B is cheaper. 10% of $364 is $36.40. That is what you would save with the third option.
It would be greater, because 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. 8 times 12 is 96. Then 96 plus 6 inches in 102. So it would be greater.
