Answer:

Michael and Carlos will have the same amount after 7 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the total number of baseball cards that Carlos and Michael need to have to be equal is y, and the amount of time in terms of weeks that it will take for this to be achieved is x.

The following expressions can be derived

For Carlos to achieve y, he will need 85 and an addition of 10 per week (x):

y=85+(10x)..........equation 1

For Michael to achieve y, he will need 120 and an addition of 5 per week (x):

y=120+(5x)..........equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 to solve for x

85+10x=120+5x

10x-5x=120-85

5x/5=35/5

x=7

Number of weeks it will take Michael and Carlos to have the same amount=x=7 weeks

How many solutions does the system of equations have?<br> 6x+y=2<br> -18x+3y=12
Tamiku [17]
There will be one solution. To solve that:
1. Get the y alone by switching the places.
6x+y=2 > y=2-6x 
-18x+3y=12 > 3y=12-18x > Then divide 3 on each number > y=4-6x
After doing that, you can solve this in graphing or algebra way.

Ima do the algebra way: 

SO we have 2 system of equations. Now pick one equestion.
I will pick, y=2-6x. Now Ima replace the Y with the other equation y=4-6x >  
4-6x=2-6x.

Now solve. And get >  0 aka Infinite Solution.
