PLEASE HELP Isolate a variable in each system. You may need to use the distributive property to simplify the equation. Show your work.
4(x - 2) = 8(y - 1) & 16y - 32 = 2x + 4

Let's put the equations in this form:

4x - 8 = 8y - 8

16y - 32 = 2x + 4

Now let's find the x from the y (in the first equation):

4x = 8y

16y - 32 = 2x + 4

--

x = 2y

16y - 32 = 2(2y) + 4

--

x = 2y

16y - 32 = 4y + 4

--

x = 2y

16y - 4y = 4 + 32

--

x = 2y

12y = 36

--

x = 2y

y = 3

Now we have the y. Let's find the x in the first equation:

x = 6

y = 3

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.
