Answer 1

Answer:

(9, 18) (3, 6) Plz correct me if wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

Let x represent the number of cookies and y represent the number of brownies.

Since he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each brownie costs $3. hence:

0.75x + 3y = 9      (1)

Also, he bought twice as many cookies as brownies, hence:

x = 2y

x - 2y = 0     (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives x = 4, y = 2

Hence Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.
