Brenda:2x+1y=41
Jessica:7x+1y=106

Answer 2

Answer: a system of equations that could be used to find the cost of the wrapping papers are

2x + y = 41

7x + y = 106

Explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one roll of plain wrapping paper.

Let y represent the cost of one roll of holiday wrapping paper.

Brenda sold 2 rolls of plain wrapping paper and 1 roll of holiday wrapping paper for a total of $41. This can be expressed as

2x + y = 41

Jessica sold 7 rolls of plain wrapping paper and 1 roll of holiday wrapping paper for a total of $106. This can be expressed as

7x + y = 106
