Answer:

The number of wrapping paper sold was 32 and the number of magazines sold was 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of wrapping paper sold

y ----> the number of magazines sold

we know that

The classes sold 72 items

so

x+y=72 ----> equation A

The classes earned $222 for their school

so

3.50x+2.75y=222 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is (32,40)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of wrapping paper sold was 32 and the number of magazines sold was 40

Christopher just found beautiful yarn for 20% off at his favorite yarn store. He can make one scarf from 2/3 of a ball of yarn.
bija089 [108]
Christopher would be able to make 18 scarves.

To solve this problem, we just need to divide 12 by 2/3. To divide 12 by 2/3, we just multiply 12 by 3/2.

This will give us 36 over 2 or just 18.

There are 140 legs on a planet zids have 5 legs and zods have 7 legs h=how many soulutions are there
abruzzese [7]
Number of zids=x
number of zods=y
number of zid legs=5x
number of zod legs=7y

so
5x+7y=140
try to get it into slope intercept from so you can graph is (y=mx+b)
5x+7y=140
subtract 5x from both sides
7y=140-5x
divide both sides by 7
y=20-5/7x
y=-5/7x+20

plug in numbers for x and get numbers for y (you can only plug in multiples of 7 for x so that there are a whole number of zids and since you are counting, x and y must never be negative)

lets try 0 for x

y=-5/7(0)+20
y=20
 so x=0 and y=20 is an answer (if you can have only one of that species)


lets try 7 for x
y=-5/7(7)+20
y=-5+20
y=15

so x=7 and y=15 is an answer


lets try 14 for x

y=-5/7(14)+20
y=-10+20
y=10

so x=14 and y=10 is another answer


lets try 21 for x
y=-5/7(21)+20
y=-15+20
y=5

so x=21 and y=5 is another answer


lets try 28 for x
y=-5/7(28)-20
y=-20+20
y=0

so x=28 and y=0 is an answer (if there can be only one of a species)


if we go further, then y will be negative so the answers are

(x,y)
(0,20)
(7,15)
(14,10)
(21,5)
(28,0)

if it is allowed that only one species exists then there are 5 possible answers
if both must exist simultaneously, then there are only 3 answers
