Please help???????????

Part A: x + y = 36, 3x + y = 54

Part B: (9, 27), I used subtraction to solve the system, because it eliminated the "y" value, so it would be easiest to solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Bean Packets: x

Amount of Frogs: y

We are given that:

x + y = 36

3x + y = 54

This is the answer to answer A.

To solve, use subtraction. Subtract:

3x + y - (x + y) = 54 - 36

3x - x + y - y = 18

2x = 18

x = 9

Substituting x = 9 into x + y = 36, we find that y = 27

In (x, y) form, substitute x = 9 and y = 27 to get (9, 27)

I used subtraction to solve the system, because it eliminated the "y" value, so it would be easiest to solve.
