B
step 1 is to distribute the bracket by 
=
× 15x -
× 30y + 10x
= 6x - 12y + 10x ← step 1
Let L be the low copper alloy and H be the high copper alloy.
We need 0.15L + 0.60H = 0.42 and L + H = 100
L=100 - H
Substituting this into the second equation for L, we get:
0.15(100-H) + 0.60H = 0.42(H+L)
15 - 0.15H + 0.60H = 0.42(H+100-H)
15 + 0.45H = 0.42(100)
0.45H = 42 - 15 = 27
H = 27/.45 = 60 lbs
Back substitution, L = 40 lbs.
41+0.10x = 31+0.15x
10 +0.10x=0.15x
10=0.05x
x=10/.05
x= 200 text messages
check 200*0.10 = 20 +41 =61
200*0.15 = 30+31 = 61
they equal each other so number of texts is 200
