Answer:

Commercials x = 7

Movies y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let commercials = x

Let's movies = y

$40 is for commercials

$110 is for movies.

Commercials plus movies for the Year = 9

She earned total of $500

X+ y = 9..... equation 1

40x + 110y = 500.... Equation 2

Multipling equation one by 40

40x + 40y = 360

Subtracting equation one from equation 2

70y = 140

Y = 2

If y = 2

X + y = 9

X + 2 = 9

X = 9-2

X = 7
