Answer:
x = 3
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it gives you x, you need to plug in the number given for it into the equation:
y = 3x - 1
y = 3(3) - 1
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
So now you have, x = 3 and y = 8

Answer: sample 1 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
