Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let chocolate pie be x and apple pie be y
Darryl made $38 from 2 chocolate pies and 4 apple pies
That’s
2x + 4y = $38
Kayla made $138 from 14 chocolate pies and 12 apple pies
That’s
14x + 12y = $138
We now have two equations
Equation 1 : 2x + 4y = 38
Equation 2: 14x + 12y = 138
Multiply equation one by 12 and equation 2 by 4 to eliminate apple pie y
We have
12 x 2x + 12 x 4y = 12 x 38
4 x 14x + 4 x 12y = 4 x 138
24x + 48y = 456
56x + 48y = 552
Subtract equation equation two from one
-32x = -96
Divide both sides by -32
x = -96/-32
x = 3
