6 can go into 59, nine times. Therefore 9 times 6 equals 54
6x + 3y = 79.5
3x + 2y = 41 y = -3/2x + 41/2 y = -1.5x + 20.5
6x + 3(-1.5x + 20.5) = 79.5
6x - 4.5x + 61.5 = 79.5
1.5x + 61.5 = 79.5
1.5x = 18
x = 12
Each shirt costs $12.
Now insert that number into the x to find the cost of each tie.
3(12) + 2y = 41
36 + 2y = 41
2y = 5
y = 2.5
Each tie costs $2.50.
Answer: Since the dependent variable is the height in cm, and the independent variable is the color of light, then a testable question could be "Will the color of a lamp affect the height of plants?"
