1. **State the problem:** We need to choose the correct system of equations where $x$ is the number of Christmas ornaments and $y$ is the number of doll dresses, then solve the system to find how many of each Jocelyn should sell.
2. **Choose the system:** The problem states the total number of items is 18, so the sum of $x$ and $y$ should be 18. Also, the total cost or value is 64, with coefficients indicating prices or quantities. The system matching this is:
$$\begin{cases} x + y = 18 \\ 3x + 4y = 64 \end{cases}$$
3. **Solve the system:**
From the first equation:
$$y = 18 - x$$
Substitute into the second equation:
$$3x + 4(18 - x) = 64$$
$$3x + 72 - 4x = 64$$
$$\cancel{3x} - \cancel{4x} + 72 = 64$$
$$-x + 72 = 64$$
Subtract 72 from both sides:
$$-x = 64 - 72$$
$$-x = -8$$
Multiply both sides by $-1$:
$$x = 8$$
4. **Find $y$:**
$$y = 18 - x = 18 - 8 = 10$$
5. **Interpretation:** Jocelyn should sell 8 Christmas ornaments and 10 doll dresses.
6. **Graph description:** The graph would show two lines intersecting at point $(8,10)$, representing the solution.
Final answer:
- Christmas ornaments: $8$
- Doll dresses: $10$
