I won't answer them all for you (don't want to cheat - need to learn something).
But for the first one given:
<span>-2x-9y=-25
-4x-9y=-23
you set up either x or y (which ever one you want to eliminate) so that one of them cancels.
So this one is easy - you just have to multiply an entire row by negative (doesn't matter which one) - so that the y's will be + and -
Since they're both 9 and they're subracting NOW - you can eliminate the y value. Now add/subtract the x's. So it'd be -2 or 2 depending on how you eliminated y. Then add the number outside of the = sign. Now just solve for x. After that plug in whatever you got for x into both of the rows. Then find the y value.
Hopefully this wasn't confusing -- reply if it is and I will try to simplify. I can give you contact if you need help with the rest
Good luck!</span>

Answer:
cost to make paper signs = $1
cost to make laminated signs = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = cost to make paper signs
y = cost to make laminated signs
8x + 2y = 12 (1)
10x + 10y = 30 (2)
Multiply (1) by 5
40x + 10y = 60 (3)
10x + 10y = 30 (2)
Subtract (2) from (3) to solve for x
40x - 10x = 60 - 30
30x = 30
x = 30/30
x = $1
Substitute x = 1 into (1)
8x + 2y = 12
8(1) + 2y = 12
8 + 2y = 12
2y = 12 - 8
2y = 4
y = 4/2
y = $2
cost to make paper signs = $1
cost to make laminated signs = $2
5 hours because 7/5 *5/1=35/5 and 35 divided by 5 equals 7
