Respuesta :

Answer:

full page = 8

half page = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

two equations can be derived from the question

40x + 75y = 800 equation 1

x + y = 13 equation 2

x = number of half page advertisement

y = number of full page advertisement

multiply equation 2 by 40

40x + 40y = 520 equation 3

subtract equation 3 from 2

280 = 35y

y = 8

substitute for y in equation 2

x + 8 = 13

x = 13 - 8

x = 5
