Amy sold 10 packages of sugar cookies and 2 packages of oatmeal
cookies for $56. Adam sold 9 packages of sugar cookies and 3 packages of
oatmeal cookies for $60. What is the price of a pack of sugar cookies and a
pack of oatmeal cookies?

Step-by-step explanation:

Using "s" and "o" to represent the prices of packs of sugar and oatmeal cookies, respectively, we can write the revenue equations as ...

  10s +2o = 56

  9s +3o = 60

In standard form (with common factors removed), these equations are ...

  5s + o = 28

  3s + o = 20

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we find ...

  (5s +o) -(3s +o) = (28) -(20)

  2s = 8 . . . . simplify

  s = 4

Substituting into the first equation, we have ...

  5·4 +o = 28

  o = 8 . . . . . . subtract 20

The price of a pack of sugar cookies is $4; of oatmeal cookies, $8.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
