Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-3y = -5 --------- (1)
y = 2+x ------- (2)
substitute (2) into (1)
2x-3y = -5
2x-3( 2+x ) = -5
2x-6-x = -5
2x-x = -5+6
x = 1
substitute x = 1 into (2)
y = 2+x
y = 2+1
y = 3
Joel = j, Mark = m, Sandra = s
j + m + s = 120
m = 3j
j = 1/2 s --> s = 2j
plug in (substitute) each letter to make it in terms of only j: j + m + s = 120
j + 3j + 2j = 120
6j = 120
6j/6 = 120/6
j = 20
now plug in for the j & s equation:
s = 2j = 2(20) = 40
Therefore Sandra has 40 coins!
