To find the total cost, you need to add these numbers together

you get 7.37 as your answer, but you need to round this to the nearest whole number.
rounding 7.37 will make it 7.
the total cost is about $7
The slope is -1/2. When it’s in the equation like that, the slope is always the number that has the letter X next to it.
Let's solve this system of equations through substitution.
We have these two equations.
-7x-2y=14
6x+6y=18
Now let divide the second equation by 6.
6x+6y=18 ----> x+y=3
Next, let us move y to the right side of the equation.
x+y=3 -------> x=3-y (x equals 3-y)
Because we found out that what x is in terms of y, we can input that in for every instance of x in this equation below.
-7x-2y=14 becomes -7(3-y)-2y=14 (Why? Because x equals 3-y!)
We have a one variable equation now and can solve for y.
-7(3-y)-2y=14
-21+7y-2y=14
5y=35
y=7
Plug in 7 for y in any equation to find x.
x+y=3
x+7=3
x=-4
answer: x=-4, y=7
