A discount bookstore sells hardcover books for $12 and paperback books for $6. The number of hardcover books, x, sold one day was twice the number of paperback books, y, sold the same day. The total sales that day were $180. What is the system of equations that represents this situation

the system of equations that represents this situation are

12x + 6y = 180

x = 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hardcover books that were sold in a day.

Let y represent the number of paperback books that were sold in a day.

The discount bookstore sells hardcover books for $12 and paperback books for $6. The total sales that day were $180. It means that

12x + 6y = 180

The number of hardcover books sold that day was twice the number of paperback books. It means that

x = 2y

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

the answer is c just got it on ed
