Harmon’s Jewelry Store receives a shipment of 500 jewelry pieces, but 15 pieces are damaged. At this rate, if Mrs. Harmon places an order for 5,500 jewelry pieces, how many should she expect to be damaged?

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

∈3,600
