Answer: the number of social media advertisements that you purchased is 18
The number of newspaper advertisements that you purchased is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of social media advertisements that you purchased.
Let y represent the number of newspaper advertisements that you purchased.
You purchase three social media advertisements for every one newspaper advertisement. This means that
y = x/3
x = 3y
You end up purchasing a total of 24 advertisements. This means that
x + y = 24 - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting y = into equation 1, it becomes
3y + y = 24
4y = 24
y = 24/4 = 6
x = 3y = 6×3 = 18
The equations are
x = 3y
x + y = 24
In augmented matrix form, the system is equivalent to

Subtract row 1 from row 2, and 4(row 1) from row 3:

Divide through row 2 by -2, and through row 3 by -3:

Subtract row 2 from row 3:

Divide through row 3 by 2:

The last row tells you
. Then

Answer:
graph y=12x-10-3 has a larger slope and does not pass through the origin, however, y=1x has a smaller slope and passes through the origin
Step-by-step explanation:
If you graph these lines it will help you to visually see this also. My graph is not exact but I hope it is helpful!
36x
6*2(3x)
6*6x multiply 2 and 3x to get 6x
36x multiply 6*6x to get 36x
