The Wonder Wings Insect Museum sells bug-shaped notebooks in their gift shop. Last month, they sold 35 butterfly notebooks and 55 ladybug notebooks. The notebooks were so popular that they want to order more this month. They plan to order 110 ladybug notebooks this month. If they keep the same ratio, how many butterfly notebooks should they order this month?

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
