Answer

You sell 26 necklaces and 12 bracelets.

Work Step by Step

We have: $3.5x+2.5y=121$ $9x+7.5y=324$ Multiply both sides of the first equation by $-3$: $-10.5x-7.5y=-363$ $9x+7.5y=324$ ____________________________ $-1.5x=-39$ $x=26$ Substitute for y in the first equation: $3.5(26)+2.5y=121$ $2.5y=30$ $y=12$ You sell 26 necklaces and 12 bracelets.
