Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b: a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1) 0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1: 0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis: 5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides: -0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left: 0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05 b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and: 42-24= 18 13¢ stamps Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the point (- 3, 5) is a solution to both equations.

Substitute the x and y values into the left side of both equations and if equal to the right sides then the point is a solution.

x - 3y = - 3 - 3(5) = - 3 - 15 = - 18 ← True

- 2x + y = - 2(- 3) + 5 =  6 + 5 = 11 ← False

Thus (- 3, 5) is not a solution to the system of equations.
