Answer:

Let the first equation be x + y = 10

x = 10 -y

2nd equation will be 1x + 1.2y = 11

Substituting in 2nd equation

(10 - y) + 1.2y = 11

10 - y + 1.2y = 11

.2y = 1

y = 5

If y = 5, x = 5: coz x + y = 10

She have buy 5 stamps of each $1 stamps and  5 stamps of each $1.20 stamps.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation that has the variable of the highest power of 1.

The standard form of a linear equation is of the form Ax + B = 0.

Let the first equation be;  

x + y = 10

x = 10 -y

2nd equation will be,

1x + 1.2y = 11

Substituting in 2nd equation;

(10 - y) + 1.2y = 11

10 - y + 1.2y = 11

0.2y = 1

y = 5

If y = 5, x = 5:

x + y = 10

Hence, She have buy 5 stamps of each $1 stamps and  5 stamps of

each $1.20 stamps.
