Question

A photography studio charges $50 that includes a sitting fee and 6 prints. Luigi increased his order to 11 prints and paid $65. How much was the sitting fee? PLEASE HELP ASAP. Thank you!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Sitting fee - 32$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations(let x represent the sitting fee)

x+6y=50

x+11y=65

You want to isolate the x variable - x+6y-6y=50-6y ; x = 50-6y

Input this into the 2nd equation: 50-6y+11y=65 ; 50+5y=65

Subtract 50 from both sides. 5y=15 (Divided 5y on both sides) ; y=3

Now that y = 3 input this into any equation I choose the 1st one.

x+6(3) = 50 ; x + 18 = 50 (Subtract 18 on both sides to get x)

x = 32

Prove: 32 + 6(3) = 50 ; 32+18 = 50 ; 50 = 50 True
