<h3><u>The value of x, the first number, is equal to 3.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of y, the second number, is equal to 7.</u></h3>
x + 3y = 24
5x + 3y = 36
We can subtract both equations from each-other to cancel out a variable.
After doing so, we're left with:
-4x = -12
Multiply each term by -1
4x = 12
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 3
Now that we have a value for x, we can solve for y.
Plug this value into the first equation.
3 + 3y = 24
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3y = 21
Divide both sides by 3.
y = 7
I’m pretty sure it’s A so sorry if I’m wrong!
The exchange rate is 60:50 (us:euro)
if you have 70 euros, then x:70
60(x) : 70(50)
60x /60 : 3500/60
x = 58.33
seventy euro dollars = $ 58.33 on that particular day
hope this helps
