Answer:

x=21

y= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 28

x = 3y

Substitute the second equation into the first

3y+y = 28

4y = 28

Divide by 4

4y/4 = 28/4

y = 7

Now we need to find x

x = 3*y

x = 3*7

x = 21

At tire depot , a pair of new tires sells for $216. The managers special advertises the same tires at a rate of $380 for 4 tires
Fittoniya [83]
A pair of tires is $216, so at that rate 4 tires would be $432. The managers special is $380 so $432-$380=$52 savings for 4. $52\4=$13 savings per tire.
