Answer 1

A.
x+y=14
79x+149y=1456

B.
-79(x+y=14)
79x+149y=1456

-79x-79y=-1106
79x+149y=1456
70y=350
y=350/70
y=5

79x+149(5)=1456
79x+745=1456
79x=1456-745
79x=711
x=711/79
x=9

C.
x=-y+14
79(-y+14)+149y=1456
-79y+1106+149y=1456
-79y+149y=1456-1106
70y=350
y=350/70
y=5

x=-y+14
x=-5+14
x=9

D.
9 polyester-fill
5 down-fill
