x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
From Pythagorean theorem,
x^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
or
x^2 = 225 - 81 = 144
x = 12
Correct me if i'm wrong but i think the best answer choice would be B.

Equivalent form of the first equation that eliminates x when added to the second
To do this, we simply make the coefficients of x to be opposite in both equations.
In the second equation, the coefficient of x is 8.
So, we need to make the coefficient of x -8, in the first equation.

Multiply by -10
![-10 * [\frac{4}{5} x-\frac{3}{5}y=18]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-10%20%2A%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%20x-%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B5%7Dy%3D18%5D)

<em>When this is added to the first equation, the x terms becomes eliminated</em>
The books are $5, and the magazines are $10. I’m not sure which way you want it explained but since magazines are twice the price of books, you can solve the equation 3b + 2b = 25. This gives you b=5 which you just multiply by 2 giving you the price of a magazine.
4b^-6
When u have a negative exponent, u simply take the reciprocal. So the answer is
4/b^6
