54 square inches because 6*18=108, 108 divided by 2 is 54
Remember PEMDAS - parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract
because multiply come before subtract, your first step would be 1/2 x 2 = 1
next, you subtract -> 15 - 1 = 14
14 is your answer
Steps
I’m using elimination so I’m trying to get rid of y
To do that I multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3. Then solve
4x + 6x = 12
15x + -6x = -12
—————————
19x + 0 = 0
Divid by 19 to get x to one side. 0/19 is 0 so
X= 0
Plug that into an equation so 0 + 3y = 6
Divid by 3 and y = 2
Answer x = 0 y = 2
The first step is to find out the value of one diaper for each equation
39.98/216 = 0.18
Therefore one diaper is for 0.18 cents
24.99/88 = 0.28
Therefore one diaper is for 0.28 cents
At the end the first deal is better
