yellow & blue tiles.'' tells us x = y + z  
 
'' The cost of a sheet of glass tiles having an area of 0.75 square foot  
is $6.50 for red, $4.50 for yellow, & $8.50 for blue'' & ''You have $80 to  
spend'' tells us  
6.5x + 4.5y + 8.5z = 80  
 
''You need 9 square feet of glass mosaic tiles to decorate a wall of ur  
kitchen''. But each sheet of glass is 0.75 square feet. So you need 12  
sheets of glass of 0.75 square feet to cover 9 square feet, so x + y + z =  
12
