Answer 3

Okay, you need to set up two different equations.

\(\Large{\text{Diane}=5+0.04x}\)
\(\Large{\text{Jeremy}=2+0.10x}\)

Where x is number of papers delivered.

You then need to set these equal and solve for x.

Not the answer that I got at all actually.

Answer 17

how you do it?

Answer 18

\(x+y=55\)
\(x=55-y\)

\(12x+10y=620\)
\(12(55-y)+10y=620\)
\(660-2y=620\)
\(-2y=-40\)
\(\color{red}{y=20}\)

\(x+20=55\)
\(\color{red}{x=35}\)
