Jake spent a total of 70 cents.
b = black-and-white = 8 cents
c = color = 15 cents
70 = 8b + 15c
he made a total of 7 copies
b + c = 7
system of equation:
70 = 8b + 15c
b + c = 7
--------------------------
b + c = 7
b + c (-c) = 7 (-c)
b = 7 - c
plug in 7 - c for b
70 = 8(7 - c) + 15c
Distribute the 8 to both 7 and - c (distributive property)
70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
Simplify like terms
70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
70 = 56 + 7c
Isolate the c, do the opposite of PEMDAS: Subtract 56 from both sides
70 (-56) = 56 (-56) + 7c
14 = 7c
divide 7 from both sides to isolate the c
14 = 7c
14/7 = 7c/7
c = 14/7
c = 2
c = 2
---------------
Now that you know what c equals (c = 2), plug in 2 for c in one of the equations.
b + c = 7
c = 2
<em>b + (2) = 7
</em><em />Find b by isolating it. subtract 2 from both sides
b + 2 = 7
b + 2 (-2) = 7 (-2)
b = 7 - 2
b = 5
Jake made 5 black-and-white copies, and 2 color copies
hope this helps

Answer:
I could do 1 and 3
1) 2x-3y=-2 ....1
-
2x+y=14......2
=-4y=-16
y=4
<u>Substitute</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>y</u><u>=</u><u>4</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>into</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>1</u>
2x-3 (4)=-2
2x-12=-2
2x=-2+12
2x=10
×=5
3) 5x+5y=20....1
-
-3x+5y=4......2
=8x=16
x=2
<u>S</u><u>ubstitute</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>x</u><u>=</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>into</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>1</u>
<u>5</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u>+</u><u>5y</u><u>=</u><u>20</u>
<u>10</u><u>+</u><u>5y</u><u>=</u><u>20</u>

Hi there!
The answer is as follows:
Finance charge = $0.14
To get this you need to take the account balance on April 1st and subtract the payment of $51.00 multiply by the annual rate of 18%, which looks like this:
$60.15 - $51.00 = $9.15 × 0.18 = 1.647
Then you divide your answer by 12 for the months of the year to get:
1.647 ÷ 12 = 0.13725
Which rounds to $0.14 for you finance charge
New balance = $100.56
To get this you take the account balance on April 1st and subtract the payment of $51.00 and then add the purchase of $91.27 and the finance charge of $0.14, like so:
$60.15 - $51.00 = $9.15 + $91.27 + $0.14 = $100.56
