In 2000, Carl’s Candy Shop sold gummy bears for $0.38 per pound, and in 2008 they cost $0.72 per pound. Let y represent the cost per pound of the gummy bears and x represent the years after 2000

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
