Answer:  The correct option is

(c) $2.20.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes and costs $9.60. Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes and costs $26.60.

Also, x represents the cost of a birthday card and y represents the cost of a thank-you note.

We are to find the cost of each birthday card.

The system of linear equations representing the given situation is given by

3x+2y=9.60~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\8x+6y=26.60~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 3, we have

3(3x+2y)=3\times9.60\\\\\Rightarrow 9x+6y=28.80~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (iii), we get

(9x+6y)-(8x+6y)=28.80-26.60\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.20.

Thus, the cost of each birthday card is $2.20

Option (c) is CORRECT.

Answer:

Each birthday card costs $2.2 ⇒ answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

- It costs $9.60

- Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

- It costs $26.60

- x represents the cost of birthday card and y represents the cost of

 thank-you note

* Lets change these information to two equations

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∵ y represents the cost of each thank-you notes

∵ Bag A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

∵ Bag A costs $9.60

∴ 3x + 2y = 9.60 ⇒ (1)

∵ Bag B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

∵ Bag B costs $26.60

∴ 8x + 6y = 26.60 ⇒ (2)

* Lets solve this system of equations to find x and y

- Multiply equation (1) by -3 to eliminate y

∵ -3(3x) + -3(2y) = -3(9.60)

∴ -9x - 6y = -28.8 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -x = -2.2

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ x = 2.2

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∴ The cost of each birthday card is $2.2

* Each birthday card costs $2.2

May someone please help me?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

x=8°

y=29°

Step-by-step explanation:

vertically opposite angles are equal

so 5x+9°=y+20°

therefore 5x-y=11°

Alternate angles are equal

so 4x+17°=y+20°

therefore 4x-y=3°

equation 1....... 5x-y=11°

equation 2......4x-y=3°

using elimination method x=8°

y=29°
