Answer:

8 kitchen towels and 4 dishcloths!

Step-by-step explanation:

first equation is 3x + 2y = 32

second equation is 5x - 2y = 32

add the two equations together to get 8x = 64

solve for x to get x = 64 / 8 = 8

replace x with 8 in the first equation to get 24 + 2y = 32  

solve for y to get y = 8/2 = 4

you have x = 8 and y = 4

first equation becomes 24 + 8 = 32

second equation becomes 40 - 8 = 32

the solution checks out ok.

solution is x = 8 and y = 2 which means he bought 8 kitchen towels and 4 dishcloths on his first trip.

Can someone help me with the problem in the image
Papessa [141]

Answer:

x=2, y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

PT=TR

QT=TS

get the system:

y = 2x + 1

3y = 3x + 9

3 * (2x+1) = 3x + 9

6x + 3 = 3x + 9

3x = 6

x = 2

y = 2x + 1 = 2*2 + 1 = 5
