Given:

Package A

Birthday cards = 3

Thank you notes = 2

Costs = $18

 

Package B

Birthday cards = 8

Thank you notes = 6

Costs = $50

 

Required:

x = birthday card cost

y = thank you notes cost

 

Solution:

Package A:

18 = 3x + 2y

Package B:

50 = 8x + 6y

 

Second, add the two equations using elimination method.

 

To find y eliminate x;

[8 (18 = 3x + 2y)] + [-3 (50 = 8x + 6y)]

(144 = 24x + 16y) + [-150 = -24x + (-18y)]

-6 = -2y

Divide both sides with -2.

y = 3 thank you notes cost

Next, let us find x by substituting the value of y.

(18 = 3x + 2y) + (50 = 8x + 6y)

[18 = 3x + 2(3)] + [50 = 8x + 6(3)]

(18 = 3x + 6) + (50 = 8x + 18)

68 = 11x + 24

68 – 24 = 11x

44 = 11x

Divide both sides with 11.

X = 4 birthday card cost

What does Shakespeare reveal about how Juliet feels about Romeo leaving snd coming back multiple times
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Shakespeare's Juliet is a mixture of caution and passion. In Act I, Scene 5, when she first meets Romeo, who is all passion, she urges him to act naturally, not poetically, and she asks him to swear by the "inconstant moon" in Act II, Scene 2. Now, in this scene Juliet finds herself experiencing conflicting emotions. Certainly, she is troubled that Romeo is the son of her father's mortal enemy; for, as she dreamily contemplates the evening's events, Juliet soliloquizes



“...Romeo doff thy name
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself”
