Answer:
x=-2 , y=9
Step-by-step explanation:
![\left \{ {{-3x+3=y} \atop {-x+3y=29}} \right.\\-x+3(-3x+3)=29\\-x-9x+9=29\\-10x=29-9\\-10x=20\\x=\frac{20}{-10} =>x=-2\\\\-3x+3=y\\-3(-2)+3=y\\6+3=y=>y=9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%20%5C%7B%20%7B%7B-3x%2B3%3Dy%7D%20%5Catop%20%7B-x%2B3y%3D29%7D%7D%20%5Cright.%5C%5C-x%2B3%28-3x%2B3%29%3D29%5C%5C-x-9x%2B9%3D29%5C%5C-10x%3D29-9%5C%5C-10x%3D20%5C%5Cx%3D%5Cfrac%7B20%7D%7B-10%7D%20%3D%3Ex%3D-2%5C%5C%5C%5C-3x%2B3%3Dy%5C%5C-3%28-2%29%2B3%3Dy%5C%5C6%2B3%3Dy%3D%3Ey%3D9)
What we Know: 3 box have some counters. There are 63 counters when they are all combined.
A and B counters = 36
The difference between A and C is 10.
Since we already know A and B we can subtract them from 63 to get C
C= 63- 36 = 27
Now we have to find A by looking for what number gives us the difference of 10 when subtracted from C.
36 = 18+ 18 or 19+ 17
18 and 18 wont work because it does not give us the difference of 10.
So A = 17 counters and B = 19 counters.
She can buy 31 songs. Having $40.01 after buying the album, you need to divide this buy $1.29 for each song. You would get 31.105, but you can't buy a fraction of a song, so it would be 31 songs.
