Hey there!

2y - 12 is completely simplified. Now, we have to simplify 1/4(8y-12) using the distributive property, which is defined as:

a(b + c) = ab+ac

Therefore, we have: 1/4(8y) - 1/4(12)

Now for some vocabulary. The word of means multiplication. We have here 1/4 of 8y, and 1/4 of 12. Which means we have 1/4 times 8y = 2y, and 1/4 of twelve which equals 3.

That gives us 2y - 3

That proves that they're not equivalent.

Hope this helps!

Jessica and Riley are selling wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy rolls of plain wrapping
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Cost of one roll of plain wrapping: \$5

Cost of one roll of holiday wrapping paper:  \$19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "p" the cost in dollars of one roll of plain wrapping paper and "h" the cost in dollars of one roll of holiday wrapping paper.

Based on the information given, we can set up this system of equations:

\left \{ {{5p+13h=272} \atop {11p+16h=359}} \right.

In order to solve it, we can use the Substitution method. The steps are:

1. Solve for "p" from the first equation:

5p+13h=272\\\\5p=272-13h\\\\p=\frac{272-13h}{5}

2. Substitute the above into the second equation and solve for "h":

11(\frac{272-13h}{5})+16h=359\\\\598.4-28.6h+16h=359\\\\-12.6h=359-598.4\\\\h=\frac{-239.4}{-12.6}\\\\h=19

3. Substitute the value of "h" into p=\frac{272-13h}{5}:

p=\frac{272-13(19)}{5}\\\\p=5
