Question

At a local bookstore, John purchased a history textbook and a magizine that cost a total price of $32, not including tax. If the price of the history textbook,h,is $4 more than 3 times the price of the magizine,m,which system of linear equations could be used to determine the price of the history textbook and the magizine? HELPPPPP!

Answer 1

3x+4=y

x+y=32

Explanation:

x= magazine book price

y=history book price

you need to multiply the price of the magazine by 3 and add 4 to get the price of the history book, 3x+4=y.

You also need to add the price of the magazine and history book to get $32, x+y=$32.
