Question

(PLZ ANSWER)A book and a magazine cost $9.00. If a book costs $3 more than a magazine, what is the cost of each?Let b = cost of a book and m = cost of a magazine. (answer choices)vv
m = $3 and b = $6
m = $4 and b = $5
m = $1 and b = $8
m = $6 and b = $3

Answer 1

The answer would be a bcause if you subtract 3 from the answer and divide it by 2 you get three and then you have 6 dollars for the book=m = $3 and b = $6

can i get brainliest for answering early?????

Answer 2

Answer:

m = $3 and b = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = $9

Since the cost of the magazines is m, therefore, the cost of the books is ($3+m)

==> $3 + m + m = $9

==> $3 + 2m = $9

Subtract $3 from both sides of the equation

==> $3 - $3 + 2m = $9 - $3

==> 2m = $6

Divide both sides by the coefficient of m which is 2

==> 2m/2 = $6/2

==> m = $3

Since m = $3, therefore the cost of books, b =

$3 + $3

= $6

Therefore, m = $3 and b = $6

Hope this helps!!!
