At a fabric store, fabrics are sold by the yard. { x + y = 5 ) (17x + 4y = 46) A dressmaker spent $46 on 5 yards of silk and cotton fabrics for a dress. Silk is $17 per yard and cotton is $4 per yard. Here is a system of equations that represent the constraints in the situation. Find the solution to the system of equations. Write it as an ordered pair below. Use the graphing calculator on the next screen to help. Enter each equation on a separate line on the left-hand side to see their graphs. 46x + 5y = 46
