Question

You have to spend money to make money. You purchase three social media advertisements for every one newspaper ad you end up purchasing a total of 24 advertisements

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3y

x + y = 24

The number of social media advertisement purchased is 18

And, the number of newspaper advertisements purchased is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number of social media advertisement purchased be x

And, the number of newspaper advertisements purchased be y

As three social media advertisements for every one newspaper advertisement is purchased

So,

y = x ÷ 3

x = 3y

And it is ended by total of 24 advertisement

That means

x + y = 24 ............(1)

Now put the value of x in equation 1

3y + y = 24

4y = 24

y = 24 ÷ 4

= 6

x = 3y

= 6 × 3

= 18

Now  The equations are

x = 3y

x + y = 24
