Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Bracelets + 3 rings = $26

2 rings = $12

3 rings = x

To get the cost of 1 ring you divide 12 by 2 and the answer you get is 6.

The total cost of the 3 rings is $18( $6*3)

Then you subtract the cost of both 2 bracelets and 3 rings($26) from the cost of 3 rings($18). The answer is $8. ( THIS IS THE COST OF 2 BRACELETS)

1 BRACELET= $4( $8/2)

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{9}{6}x-9 \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-w \end{gathered}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the following equations, we need to isolate the variable asked using inverse operations to solve equations.

Remember that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as multiplication and division.

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} a\text{. Solve for y} \\ 6y=9x-54 \\ y=\frac{9}{6}x-\frac{54}{6} \\ y=\frac{9}{6}x-9 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} b\text{. Solve for l} \\ P=2l+2w \\ 2l=P-2w \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-\frac{2}{2}w \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-w \end{gathered}$
