Mr. Townsend needs to make 13 pairs of butterfly wings for costumes for a play. Each pair of wings is made with ¾ yard of fabric. The fabric costs $8 per yard. You'll apply properties of multiplication in the following steps to find the total cost of the fabric.

you will need 9 and 3/4 for the 13 pairs of butterfly wings. if you were doing that, the total price would be $78. if you needed to have a whole number for yards, you would round up to 10 and the total price would be $80

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
