Answer:
Here is a graph I created.
For Miguel to spend the least amount of money, he would have to buy 2 gallons for $5.98 and two 1/2 gallons for $4.20. The total is $10.18.
I'm stuck on the next question though.
320 because you added the two numbers to get the total.
X - 2y = -24
x - y = 4
Isolate x in the first equation by adding 2y to both sides.
x = -24 + 2y
Now plug in this value of x into the second equation.
(-24 + 2y) - y = 4
Solve. Combine all like terms, 2y - y.
-24 + y = 4
Add 24 to both sides to isolate y.
y = 28
Now plug y back into the first equation to find x.
x - 2(28) = -24
x - 56 = -24
Add 56 to both sides to isolate x.
x = 32
The solution is (32, 28).
