a. 'x' represents half page advertisement and 'y' represents full page advertisement.
System of equation is given by 42x + 86y = 1192 , x + y =20.
b. Number of full page advertisement Kathryn purchase is equals to 8.
c. Number of half page advertisement Kathryn purchase is equals to 12.
<h3>What is system of equation?</h3>" System of equation is defined as the finite set of equations for which we find a common solution."
According to the question,
Cost of half page advertisement = $42
Cost of full page advertisement = $86
Number of advertisement Kathryn could purchase = 20
Total budget of Kathryn to purchase advertisement = $1192
'x' represents half page advertisement
'y' represents full page advertisement
As per the situation given system of equation we have,
42x + 86y = 1192 ______(1)
x + y = 20
x = 20 - y _____(2)
Substitute the value of 'x' from system of equation (2) in (1) we get,
Substitute the value of y in (2) to get 'x' ,
= 12
Hence,
a. 'x' represents half page advertisement and 'y' represents full page advertisement.
System of equation is given by 42x + 86y = 1192 , x + y =20.
b. Number of full page advertisement Kathryn purchase is equals to 8.
c. Number of half page advertisement Kathryn purchase is equals to 12.
