X=one type that cost 9
y=one type that cost 8

total books=type1+type2
total books=13
x+y=13

the total cost=cost of each added together
cost of each=number of books times cost per book
total cost=108
9x+8y=108


we have
x+y=13
9x+8y=108
solve for x and y

multiply first equation by -8 and add to first equation
-8x-8y=-104
<u>9x+8y=108 +</u>
x+0y=4

x=4
subsitute
x+y=13
4+y=13
minus 4
y=9

4 of the $9
9 of the $8

thats how to solve

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by t_1=2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by t_2=10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t_1-t_2=3.6\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+t_1+t_2\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+2.1+10\\\Rightarrow\ x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.
