To answer this kind of question, you need to insert the first equation into second equation or vice versa. The equation from the question should be:

1. 3 paperback books +  5 hardcover book = $80.10
2. 7 paperback books + 4 hardcover book= $100.65

It would be easier to convert the 1st equation into
5 hardcover book = $80.10- 3 paperback books
hardcover book= $16.02- 0.6 paperback books

Then insert it to 2nd equation:
7 paperback books + 4 ($16.02- 0.6 paperback books)= $100.65
7 paperback books + $64.08- 2.4 paperback books= $100.65
4.6 paperback books = $100.65-  $64.08= $36.57
paperback book= $7.95

Insert paperback book price to the first equation to find the hardcover book price
3 paperback books +  5 hardcover book = $80.10
3 ($7.95)+  5 hardcover book = $80.10
5 hardcover book = $80.10 - $23.85= $56.25
hardcover book = $11.25

Then one paperback and one hardcoverbook= $7.95 + $11.25= $19.20

malfutka [58]

Answer:

<h2>               11 ¹/₉ yards</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't say how many pieces. My answer is for 3 equal pieces.33\frac13\div3=(33+\frac13)\div3=33\div3+\frac13\div3=11+\frac13\times\frac13=11+\frac19=11\frac19

For two it would be:

33\frac13\div2=(33+\frac13)\div2=33\div2+\frac13\div2=16\frac12+\frac13\times\frac12=\\\\=16\frac36+\frac16=16\frac46=16\frac23
