Hi i’m answering on here so i can ask someone something through the messages bc i haven’t answered enough questions
TURKEY 0.15xy+20y
GOBBLE 0.20xy+0y
x is the number of texts and y is the number of months
400 texts will need to be sent each month because solving the equation 0.15xy+20y=0.20xy+0y
0.15xy+20y=0.20xy
-0.05xy+20y=0
-0.05xy=-20y
turn -0.05xy into (-y/20)x
(-y/20)x=-20y
((-y/20)x=-20y)/-y/20
x=-20y/-y/20
x=400
TURKEY plan because 0.15(500)y+20y is 95y and 0.20(500)y+0y is 100y, meaning TURKEY would be cheaper.
Let's assume
number of small notebooks =x
number of large notebooks =y
we are given
total number of notebooks =31
so, we get

now, we can solve for y

we have
Small notebooks cost $3.50 and large notebooks cost $5.00
she has $134 to spend
so, we get

now, we can plug y





now, we can find y


so,
number of small notebooks is 14
number of large notebooks is 17.............Answer
