Answer:
x = 4, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:
2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24
Subtract the second from the first:
4x + 4y = 24
- 5x + 4y = 28
4x - 5x = -x
4y = 4y = 0
24 - 28 = -4
so you end with -x + 0 = -4
Solve for x to get x = 4
Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.
2(4) + 2y = 12
8 + 2y = 12
2y = 4
y = 2
C = 10m + 30, where C is total cost and m is # of months
C = 10(5) + 30
C = 50 + 30
C = $80
$160 = 10m + 30
160 - 30 = 10m
130/10 = m
m = 13 months
Hope that helps
