Ineed on how to solve the problem and the correct answer : )

This is a system of linear equations. First, you can add the two equations together to eliminate the y so that you can solve for x:

-5x + -7x = 0 + -96

-12x = -96

x = 8

Use x to solve for y:

-5 * 8 + 8y = 0

Add 40 to both sides and divide by 8:

y = 5

So, x = 8 and y = 5.

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
