well you have total cost x = pencil = ( want to see how many you need) y = drawing board = (only have one) k = constant ( result of what you have, value at the end you work with) x = .97 y = 5.95 k = 11.77 .97 x + 5.95 y = 11. 77 [ .97 x + 5.95 y = 11. 77 ] 100 97 x + 595 y = 11 77 97 x + 595 + (- 595 ) = 1177 + (-595) [ 97x = 582 ] 1/ 97 x = 6 (i multiplied by 100 to get rid of decimals) ya its 6 pencils
