Solid paper costs 1.75 each
Printed paper costs 2.50 each

Given:
Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of
printed paper)
Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of
printed paper)
Let x = solid paper
Let y= printed paper
12x + 9y = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50

Find X:
8x + 15y = 51.50
8x = 51.50 - 15y
x= (51.50 - 15y)8

Substitute X:
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8
618-180y + 72y =348
-108y = 348 - 618
-108y =-270
-108y/-108=-270/-108

Y= 2.50

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8
x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8
x= (51.50 - 37.50\8
X = 14/8

X = 1.75

To check: x = 1.75; y = 2.5
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50
21 + 22.50 = 43.50
43.50 = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50
14 + 37.50 = 51.50
51.50 = 51.50

Hope that helps! Have a good day :)

Answer:

x= 1, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

log_{x+2} (9x) =2\\\\9x = (x+2)^2 \\\\(x+2)^2 - 9x = 0\\\\x^2 +4x + 4-9x = 0\\\\x^2 - 5x +4= 0\\\\x^2 - 4x-x+4=0\\\\x(x-4)-1(x-4)=0\\\\(x-4)(x-1)=0\\\\x-4 =0\: or\: x - 1=0\\\\x = 4\: or\: x = 1\\\\x = 1,\: 4
