Answer:

(a) The equality that express many bottles of paint, x, and boxes of colored pencils, y, Carmen can buy is  2 x + 3.5 y = 42

b)Three different solutions:

x  = 14, y = 4 is First Solution.

x  = 7, y = 8 is Second Solution.

x  = 21, y = 0 is Third Solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the cost of 1 bottle of paint = $2.00 each

The cost of 1 box of colored pencils  = $3.5 each

Let us assume the number of bottle of paints purchased = x

So, the cost of x bottle of paints   = x ( Cost of 1 bottle of paint)

= x ($2.00)  = 2 x

Also, assume the number of box of colored pencils purchased = y

So, the cost of y box of colored pencils = y ( Cost of 1 box)

= y ($3.50)  = 3.5 y

Also, the total amount to be spent on art supplies  = $42

So, the total amount spent on x paint bottles + y box of colored pencil

= $42

or,  2 x + 3.5 y = 42

a ) So, the equality that express many bottles of paint, x, and boxes of colored pencils, y, Carmen can buy is  2 x + 3.5 y = 42

b)Three different solutions:

When y = 4 ,  equation is:   2 x + 3.5(4)  = 42

or,  2 x = 42 - 14  = 28, or x = 28/2  =  14

So, x  = 14, y = 4 is First Solution.

When y = 8 ,  equation is:   2 x + 3.5(8)  = 42

or,  2 x = 42 - 28  = 14, or x = 14/2  =  7

So, x  = 7, y = 8 is Second Solution.

When y = 0 ,  equation is:   2 x + 3.5(0)  = 42

or,  2 x = 42 , or x = 42/2  = 21

So, x  = 21, y = 0 is Third Solution.
