Enola spent $48 at a used book store where hardback books sell for $12 each and paperback books sell for $8 each. A. Write an equation in standard form where x represents the number of hardback books and y represents the number of paperback books she bought that day:

B. If she bought 2 hardback books how many paperback books did she buy?

A. 48= 12x + 8y

B.  3 paper back books

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If x represents hardback book, and they are $12 each then that is 12x. y = the paperback books that are $8 each, so 8y. and 48 is the amount that Enola spent.

B. 2 hardback books would equal $24.  If you had 3 paperback books that would equal $24. And the two together to get the total amount of $48.

the equivalent expression are always the hardest ones but you look at the gcf also
