ASAP Hermes has eight envelopes labeled "x" and an additional $218, and Apollo has five envelopes labeled "x" and an additional $521.Each envelope has the same amount of money in it.

a) Write a system of equations representing this situation

b) How much money must be in each envelope for them to have the same amount of money?

a) ,   b) $101

Step-by-step explanation:

Hermes: 8 envelopes, $218

Apollo: 5 envelopes, $521

If x is the amount in each envelope, H is the amount Hemes has and A is the amount Apollo has, this would be a possible system of equations.

If Apollo and Hermes both had the same amount of total money, A and H could equal y

We want to find the amount in each envelope (x), so we can substitute y in the first equation for y in the second equation:

Subtract from both sides

Subtract 218 from both sides

Divide both sides by 3

So there would have to be $101 in both envelopes for Apollo and Hermes to have the same amount of total money.

correct answer:

b.(19,-2)
