Answer:

The cost of hardbook is $9 and cost of paperback is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price for hardback book and y be the price for paperback book.

Mr. Yamamoto purchased 42 new hardcover books and 64 new paperback books, which cost a total of $698.

We can write the equation as:

42x + 64y = 698

He also purchased 42 new hardcover books and 58 new paperback books, which cost a total of $668.

We can write the equation as:

42x + 58y = 668

We have to use the elimination method to solve the two equations.

We eliminate x by subtracting the two equations.

42x + 64y-(42x + 58y) = 698 - 668\\\Rightarrow 6y = 30\\\Rightarrow y = 5\\42x + 64(5) = 698\\\\\Rightarrow x = \displaystyle\frac{698 - 64(5)}{42}\\\\\Rightarrow x = 9

Thus, the cost of hardbook is $9 and cost of paperback is $5.

PLS HELP ME GUYS ITS MY LAST QUESTION IN GEOMETRY
aliina [53]

Answer:

Example = ( 12, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many possible solutions to this equation, and all you would have to do to determine the ordered pair, is satisfy the following criteria -

x - 6y = 6,\\- 6y = - x + 6,\\y = 1 / 6x - 1

Take a look at a graph of the line y = 1 / 6x - 1. Any ordered pair that lies on this line is a solution to the equation. The " criteria " is that the ordered pair must lie on this line. Let me give you an example, ( 12, 1 ).

<u><em>Hope that helps!</em></u>
