Answer:

x = $1.5, y = $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 6y = 24

3x + 2y = 10

Solve for y

2y = 10 - 3x

y = 5 - 3/2x

Plug y into first equation

5x + 6y = 24

5x + 30 - 9x = 24

-4x = -6

x = $1.5

y = $2.75

4. If the paint costs $30 per gallon and you need to spend $60 on supplies, and you can
Bezzdna [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand this right, then you need paint and additional supplies.

but I don't see any information indicating how many gallons of paint I will need.

so, I can go only with the 1 gallon specified.

so,

1×30 + 60 = $90

we can save $45 per month.

then we need

90 / 45 = 2

months to have enough money.

please update the numbers to how many gallons you really need, and then take that result and divide it by the 45 savings per month.
