Jeremy lost his dog, and wants to make some signs to put up in the neighborhood. The cost to make 8 paper signs and 2 laminated signs is $12.00. The cost to make 10 paper signs and 10 laminated signs is $30.00. What is the cost of 1 laminated sign?

cost to make paper signs = $1

cost to make laminated signs = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost to make paper signs

y = cost to make laminated signs

8x + 2y = 12 (1)

10x + 10y = 30 (2)

Multiply (1) by 5

40x + 10y = 60 (3)

10x + 10y = 30 (2)

Subtract (2) from (3) to solve for x

40x - 10x = 60 - 30

30x = 30

x = 30/30

x = $1

Substitute x = 1 into (1)

8x + 2y = 12

8(1) + 2y = 12

8 + 2y = 12

2y = 12 - 8

2y = 4

y = 4/2

y = $2

cost to make paper signs = $1

cost to make laminated signs = $2

is there supposed to be a diagram or a graph for this one? ?
