Let x = the total number of garden beds
18 = .3x
x = 60 garden beds
Here we have 2 variables we need to calculate:
x - how many Volvos Jane sold
y - how many Volvos Melissa sold
We write system of equations:
x = 8*y
x - y = 35
------------
8y - y = 35
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 8*5 = 40
Jane sold 40 cars.
uhm the answer is D. sorry if am wrong
Answer:
x = 17, y = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Isolate for x in "x - y = -3, -8":
x - y+y = -3, -8+y
x = -11 + y
2. Substitute "x = -11 + y" in for x in the second expression:
-11 + y + y = 45
3. Simplify:
-11 + 2y = 45
4. Isolate y:
-11+11 +2y = 45+11
2y = 56

y = 28
5. Substitute the new y-value into the first equation:
x = -11 + 28
x = 17
hope this helps!
