Answer:
poop
Step-by-step explanation:
poop
Given:
Cost of two donuts and three cookies = $3.30
Cost of five donuts and two cookies = $4.95
To find:
The cost of each donut.
Solution:
Let x be the cost of each donut and y be the cost of each cookie.
Cost of two donuts and three cookies = $3.30
...(i)
Cost of five donuts and two cookies = $4.95
...(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 2.
...(iii)
Multiply equation (ii) by 3.
...(iv)
Subtracting (iii) from (iv), we get


Divide both sides by 11.


Therefore, the cost of each donut is $0.75.
Ok here is what I think.
Let us first number these statements, as #1, and #2.
First statement: 3x + 8y = 12 (1)
Second Statement: 2x + 2y = 3 (2)
Now, we can work from this.
We want to make one of the equations be equal to 0 so that at the end when we check they can be equal to each other.
Let us use 4.
3x+8y=12 1-8x-8y=-12 2
This gives us:-5x = 0
Now we should try and isolate x so we can substitute it into one of the equations.
We have -5x=0
and x=0
3(0)+8y=12
8y=12
y=12/8
y=3/2
Plug in these new equations
y=3/2 and y=0 into any of the first equations
3x+8y=12 3(0)+8(3/2)= 12 8(3/2)=12 4(3)=12 12=12
Now we know it works, thats our check^^
