Question

anonymous · Answer

5g+2s = 250 and solve. Do you know how to solve?

mathstudent55 · Answer

Let number of gems = g
Let number of stars = s
Let number of points = p
p = 5g + 2s
5g + 2s = 250

anonymous · Answer

yeah do you get 48 gems and 5 stars?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah thats one way, there are multiple ways of solving, you want to isolate and solve for each as well.

anonymous · Answer

set either to zero and solve as well. so 5(0) + 2(x) = 250 and solve, and then 5(x) + 2(0) = 250

oh ok

There are tons of variations of answers you can get. If you plot the points of the graph you would see.
