Answer:

14.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7y = 12

x - y = 1           Multiply this by -3:

-3x + 3y = -3     Add this to equation 1:

0 + 10y = 9

so y = 9/10 = 0.9.

x - 0.9 = 1

x = 1.9.

So 5x + 5y = 5*1.9 + 5*0.9

= 14.

A student bought 3 boxes of pencils and 2 boxes of pens for $6. He then bought 2 boxes of pencils and 4 boxes of pens for $8. Fi
Annette [7]
Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00

You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00

Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50

A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.
