Step 2 9y - 24 = 10 + 3y because 3 times 3y its not 6y nor is 3 times 8 equal to 5

Two customers went to a post office to buy postcards and large envelopes. Each postcard

astraxan [27]

The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the postcards

y be the large envelops

According to given statement;

14x+5y=12 Eqn 1

10x+15y=24.80 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3;

$3(14x+5y=12)\\42x+15y=36\ \ \ Eqn \ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3;

$(42x+15y)-(10x+15y)=36-24.80\\42x+15y-10x-15y=11.20\\32x=11.20\\$

Dividing both sides by 32

$\frac{32x}{32}=\frac{11.20}{32}\\x=0.35$

Putting x=0.35 in Eqn 1;

$14(0.35)+5y=12\\4.90+5y=12\\5y=12-4.90\\5y=7.10$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{7.10}{5}\\y=1.42$

Therefore, one large envelope costs $1.42

The right answer is Option A.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph an equation using the slope and y-intercept, 1) Write the equation in the form y = mx + b to find the slope m and the y-intercept (0, b). 2) Next, plot the y-intercept. 3) From the y-intercept, move up or down and left or right, depending on whether the slope is positive or negative.
