Hello
x = 3y - 6
2x - 4y = 8
We need to start by solving 3y - 6 for x
Substitute 3y -6 for x in 2x
2x - 4y = 8
2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8
2y - 12 = 8
2y = 8 + 12
2y = 20
Divide both sides by 2
2y/2 = 20/2
y = 10
Now, substitute 10 for y in x= 3y
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(10) - 6
x = 30 - 6
x= 24
Answer : x = 24 and y=10
I hope this help!
5000 × .06 = $300 balance $5,300
5300 × .06 = $318 balance $5,618
5618 × .06 = $337.08 balance $5,955.08
5955.08 ×.06 = $357.30 balance $6,312.38
The answer is A.) 500 Year books.
The profit they would gain from each year book would be $28 since each year book costs $7 to make and sells for $35. You would simply divide 14,000 by 28 to find how many books they would need to sell in order to get their investment back which would be 500 books.
Hope this helps.
