So if each cd costs $14.25 then I multiply it by 2 and I get $28.50 now I get the equation 28.50 + y = 138.45 I don't know what to do next please help

I figured it out ranga thank you though

Answer 11

My answer that I go t was $9.90 per DVD

Answer 12

The original equation was: 2x + 5y = 138.45
x is the price of each CD
y is the price of each DVD

In part 2 they tell you each CD costs $14.25
So x = 14.25

Put that in the equation above: 2(14.25) + 5y = 138.45
28.5 + 5y = 138.45
subtract 28.5 from both sides
5y = 109.95
divide both sides by 5
y = 21.99

Each DVD costs $21.99
