Answer:

9,25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x, y

x + y = 34

x = 34 - y -----------(i)

x + 6y = 159 --------(ii)

substitute x value in (ii)

34 - y +6y = 159

34 + 5y = 159

5y = 159 - 34

5y = 125

y = 125/5

y= 25

Substitute y value in equation (i)

x = 34 -25

x = 9

What is the cost of a 7-line ad if it charges 14.50 for every three lines of a ad?

zheka24 [161]

You have 7 lines and per 3 lines you're charged $14.50. 7 divided by 3 is 2.33333333. 14.50 X 2 = $29. Now you solve for the unit price ( the cost per one line and multiply that by 2 ) So the unit price is about $4.83. $4.83 x 2.33333 = $11.27. The total cost would be about $40.27.

I hope this helps :)
