Answer:

y=2/5 or 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

3y + 6 = 18y -->

subtract 3y from both sides to get rid of it.

6 = 15y -->

isolate the variable by dividing it by 15.

6/15 = 15y/15 -->

simplify.

2/5 = y

Charlotte pays $24 for 3 yards of landscaping fabric and 6 yards of chicken wire. Kami pays $30 for 6 yards of landscaping fabri
vlabodo [156]

Answer: the price of 1 yard of chicken wire is $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one yard of landscaping fabric.

Let y represent the cost of one yard of chicken wire.

Charlotte pays $24 for 3 yards of landscaping fabric and 6 yards of chicken wire. This means that

3x + 6y = 24 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Kami pays $30 for 6 yards of landscaping fabric and 3 yards of chicken wire. This means that

6x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

18x + 36y = 144

18x + 9y = 90

Subtracting

27y = 54

y = 54/27 = 2

Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 6×2 = 24

3x = 24 - 12 = 12

x = 12/3 = 4
