Jerry has a comparative advantage in fences

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is a concept in economics that states the product in which a person / company/ country has relative advantages or may produce more in comparison to competition.

Jerry produces 7 fences but Tom only 4 so Jerry, if he concentrated only in fences would be more competitive or productive than Tom. Tom instead, as he can produce 16 dishes. two more than Jerry has comparative advantages in the production of dishes.

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
