Answer:x=3 and y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are told "sum of 5 times one number, x, and 4 times a second number, y, is 75":

5x+4y=75 (1)

Then, we are told "he sum of the two numbers is 18":

x+y=18 (2)

At this point we have our system of equations and now we are able to find the values of x and y.

So, let's begin by isolating x from (2):

x=18-y (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

5(18-y)+4y=75 (4)

Finding y:

90-5y+4y=75

y=15 (5) This is the value of y

Substituting (5) in (1):

5x+4(15)=75 (6)

Finding y:

5x+60=75 (7)

x=3 (8) This is the value of x

Answer: Yes, because the amount of money you save for every beverage bought is constant, and if you buy 0 beverages, you’ll save $0. That means it the situation is graphed, the line produced will be linear and crosses through the origin, which are the requirements for a proportional relationship.
