Answer:
x=4 and y=(-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
the length of the bottom side is 17-3 = 10
to be a square all sides need to be 10 units.
A(7,13)
B (17,13)
Things we know:
Six total pots = # of 10" + # of 8"
$78 total = cost of 10" + cost of 8"
So:
6 = x +y
and
78 = x*(cost of x) + y * (cost of y)
78 = x*12 + y*15
We need:
x+y=6 AND 12x+15y=78
So our answer can only be B.
