Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 10 - 2x
1 quart = 4 cups. So 4 x 4 will give you your answer, which is 16 cups.

Answer: the cost of each pencil is $0.5
the cost of each eraser is $0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one pencil.
Let y represent the cost of one eraser.
Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers. This means that
2x + 3y = 1.45- - - - - - - - - -1
Luke spent $2.65 for 5 pencils and 1 eraser. This means that
5x + y = 2.65- - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
2x + 3y = 1.45
15x + 3y = 7.95
Subtracting, it becomes
- 13x = - 6.5
x = - 6.5/- 13
x = 0.5
Substituting x = 0.5 into equation 2, it becomes
5 × 0.5 + y = 2.65
2.5 + y = 2.65
y = 2.65 - 2.5
y = 0.15
0.25 = 25/100
to simplify 25/100, divide 25 from both the numerator and denominator.
25/25 = 1
100/25 = 4
1/4 is the simplest form
C. 1/4 is your answer
