Answer:

The cost of 1 pound meat is $ 4.5 And cost of 1 pound of cheese is $ 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 pound of meat be x

Let the cost of 1 pound of cheese be y

Cost of 4 pounds of meat = 4x

Cost of 5 pounds of cheese = 5y

Since we are given that one customer purchases 4 pounds of meat and 5 pounds of cheese for a total of $30.50.  

So, equation becomes : 4x+5y = 30.50

Cost of 11 pounds of meat = 11x

Cost of 14 pounds of cheese = 14y

Since we are given that a sandwich shop owner comes in and purchases 11 pounds of meat and 14 pounds of cheese for $84.50.

So, equation becomes : 11x+14y = 84.50

Thus the system of equations are :

4x+5y = 30.50 -1   (Red line)

11x+14y = 84.50 -2   (Black line)

Solving these equations graphically we get the solution

x = $4.5

y = $2.5

Hence The cost of 1 pound meat is $ 4.5 And cost of 1 pound of cheese is $ 2.5.

Answer:

there is no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand.

15x+35+2x=7x+10x-4515x+35+2x=7x+10x−45

2 Simplify  15x+35+2x15x+35+2x  to  17x+3517x+35.

17x+35=7x+10x-4517x+35=7x+10x−45

3 Simplify  7x+10x-457x+10x−45  to  17x-4517x−45.

17x+35=17x-4517x+35=17x−45

4 Cancel 17x17x on both sides.

35=-4535=−45

5 Since 35=-4535=−45 is false, there is no solution.
