$40/12 = unit rate simplify = 10/3
$10/3 per book
18 * 10/3 = $60 for 18 copies
Answer:
x= -1/3
y= -3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Make both of them into y=Mx+b form
y=-x-3
y=(-x-7)/2
Substitute the x-3 in the first equation for the y in the second one.
x-3=(-x-7)/2
2x-6=-x-7
3x=-1
x=-1/3
Now that we have x, we can solve for y.
y=-x-3
y=-1/3-3
y=-3 1/3
<span>The correct answer is option B. i.e. Both equation 1 and 2 have the same number of solutions. The equation 1 is |5x+6| = 41 By removing the modulus sign we get, 5x + 6 = 41 and 5x +6 = -41. Solving, 5x = 6 = 41 we get, 5x = 35 or x = 7. And, on solving 5x +6 = -41 we get, 5x = -47 or x = 9.4 Now. the second equation is |2x+13| = 28 By removing the modulus sign we get, 2x+ 13 = 28 and 2x +13 = -28. Solving, 2x = 28 -13 = 15 or x = 7.5 . And, on solving 2x +13 = -28 we get, 2x = -41 or x = -20.5.TH </span>
