Answer:

2 plain folders and 7 folders with cartoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the number of plain folders be x

and the number of folders with cartoons  be y

x+y=7------------1

x+2y=12----------2

from 1

x= 7-y

put this in 2

7-y+2y=12

7+y= 12

y= 12-7

y=5

Put y=5 in 1

x+5= 7

x= 7-5

x= 2

Hence Ayin bought 2 plain folders and 7 folders with cartoons
