Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Waters is bringing the centerpieces for the end of the year banquet and plans on using candles and vases. She spends $50 in total.

The system that can be used to represent her situation is given, where x represents the number of candles purchased and y represents  the number of vases purchased as

3x + 5y = 50 and  

x + y = 12.

Therefore, the cost of each vase is $5, not $3.

The cost of each candle is $3, not $5.

And the total number of items needed is 12, not 8.  

So, the only true statement is the total number of items needed is 12. (Answer)

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
