The cost of 4 belts and 5 ties is $247. Each time costs 3 times as much as a belt. What us the total cost of 1 belt and 1 tie

The total cost of 1 belt and 1 tie is $13 and $39 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The cost of 4 belts and 5 ties is $247.

Each tie costs 3 times as much as a belt.

Let the cost of a belt is x and that of a tie is y.

ATQ,

4x + 5y = 247 ...(1)

y = 3x (2)

Put the value of y from equation (2) in equation (1)

4x + 5(3x) = 247

4x + 15x = 247

19x = 247

x = 13

Put the value in equation (2)

y = 3x

= 3(13)

= 39

So, the total cost of 1 belt and 1 tie is $13 and $39 respectively.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
