Carl and Cameron are at a pool. Carl dives in and touches the bottom of the pool, 15 feet below the surface of the water. Cameron is standing on a diving platform 2 feet above the surface, waiting for his turn.
What is the vertical distance between Carl's hand and Cameron's feet? Enter your answer in the box.

The answer would be 27 because assuming that each package has 1 bar of soap and 1 tube of toothpaste, after 27 packages they would run out of toothpaste

Ok here we go ..there are plenty of ways to solve such math problems but we will go for the smartest and easiest ..5x+2y=7  -2x+6y=9we rearrange them into the following ..by multiplying the 1st equation by 2 it becomes 10x + 4y = 14we rearrange it and so it becomes 10x = 14 - 4yas for the second equation we multiply it by 5 and rearrange it so it becomes as to the following ..-10x + 30y = 45rearranging so 10x = 30y -45now 10x equals both 14 - 4y and 30y -45so   14 - 4y = 30y -4531 = 26yy= 31/26 = 1.19 or around 1.2so by now we can calculate x easily as  -2x+6y=9so 2x = 6y -9 = 6 * 31/26 - 9 = -1.84  then x = - 0.92 or around -0.9best luck!
