NEED HELP ASAP Harry had $32. He spent all the money buying three notebooks for x dollars each and four packs of index cards for y dollars each. If Harry had bought five notebooks and five packs of index cards, he would have run short by $18. The following system of equations models this scenario:

3x + 4y = 32
5x + 5y = 50

Use the system of equations to solve for x and y.

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.

the answer is -1 1/5, also a
