First off, if you divide $960/$8, you will get 120 “sets” of payment. Multiply this value by the amount of money Jenny is responsible for paying and the amount her parents are responsible for paying to find their total contributions.
a. Jenny will have to pay $600
b. Jenny’s parents will contribute $360 to her new laptop.
First you solve for y.
5x+ y= 12 so Y= 12-5x
And plug it into the next equation
3x- 3(12-5x) = 18
Distribute
3x-36+15x=18
Add 36 to both sides
3x+ 15x= 54
18x= 54 ... divide
x= 3
And you can plug in x to solve for Y
5(3) + y = 12
15+ y = 12 ...subtract 15 from both sides
y= -3
