A beginner artist kit costs $6.35 and contains 2 brushes and 5 jars of paint. The standard kit has 4 brushes and 12 jars of pain
t and cost $13.20. Assuming all brushes cost the same and all jars of paint cost the same, what are the prices of 1 brush and 1 jar of paint?
2 answers:
2b + 5j = 6.35.....multiply by -2
4b + 12j = 13.20
----------------------
-4b - 10j = - 12.70 (result of multiplying by -2)
4b + 12j = 13.20
----------------------add
2j = 0.50
j = 0.50/2
j = 0.25 <==== jars
2b + 5j = 6.35
2b + 5(0.25) = 6.35
2b + 1.25 = 6.35
2b = 6.35 - 1.25
2b = 5.10
b = 5.10/2
b = 2.55 <=== brushes
so 1 brush (b) = 2.55 and 1 jar (j) = 0.25...total, if needed, = 2.80
1 brush = 2.55 and 1 jar = 0.25.

Answer:
if x = -2, y = -10
if x = 0, y = -4
if y = -1, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
if x = -2:
f(-2) = 3(-2) - 4
f(-2) = -6 - 4
f(-2) = -10
if x = 0:
f(0) = 3(0) - 4
f(0) = 0 - 4
f(0) = -4
if y = -1
-1 = 3(x) - 4
3 = 3(x)
x = 1
