Hey there!!
Let us take the price of cinnamon tea as ' x ' and spice tea as ' y '
Now, let us take it into equation
12x + 3y = 15 -------------- ( 1 )
14x + 12y = 45 --------------- ( 2 )
Let us multiply the first equation with 4
48x + 12y = 60 --------------- ( 1 )
14x + 12y = 45 --------------- ( 2 )
Now, subtract equation 2
48x + 12y = 60
-14x - 12y = -45
Now, we get,
34x = 15
x = 15 / 34
This is the cost for cinnamon tea = $ 15 / 34
Now, substitute this into one equation
Let us take this equation - 12x + 3y = 15
Now, substitute ' x '
12 ( 15 / 34 ) + 3y = 15
6 ( 15 / 17 ) + 3y = 15
90 / 17 + 3y = 15
3y = 15 - 90/17
3y = 165 / 17
y = ( 165/17 ) ( 1 / 3 )
y = $ 55/17
Cinnamon tea = $ 15/34
Spice tea = $ 55/17
Hope helps!
Answer:
the answer is 4/3
in alternative form, it is 1 1/3.
hope this helps
im sorry but i cant seem to open your image?
Say that you're thinking of number 
You multiply it by 8, and have 
You add -1 (i.e., you subtract 1) and have 
This equals -17, so you have
Add 1 to both sides
Divide both sides by 8:
So, you were thinking of -2.
