Samantha sells two types of wristbands rope or beaded. She charges more for beaded wristbands than see does. The amount of money, in dollars, that she collects from selling x wristbands of the other type can be modeled by the expressions 5x +8y. What does the variable y represent in this situation?

Complete question :

Samantha sells two types of wristbands, rope or beaded. She charges more for beaded wristbands than for rope wristbands. The amount of money, in dollar's, that she collects from selling x wristbands of one type and y

wristbands of the other type can be modeled by the expression 5x + 8y. What does the variable y represent in this situation?

Number of Beaded wristband sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Wristband types

Beaded and Rope

Beaded are more expensive than ropes

The total amount for selling x of one type and y of the other type equals 5x + 8y

In this situation, we expect x and y to represent the number of each of the two types of wristbands sold.

For the variable y with a Coefficient of 8, we can conclude that y is the number of beaded wristbands sold because the the beaded is said to be more expensive than the rope Wristband.

And 8 > 5

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
