Question

Juan and Adam go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends,

Answer 1

Answer:

Popcorn = $4.25 per bag, Drink = $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

p = popcorn

d = drinks

10p + 10d = 130

3p + 5d = 56.50

multiply the second equation by -2 and then solve by elimination

-6p - 10d = -113

4p = 17

p = 4.25

3(4.25) + 5d = 56.50

5d = 43.75

d = 8.75

Answer 2

Answer:

10x + 10y = $130.00

3x + 5y = $56.50

Solution: x=4.25 and y=8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x will be used here to show the price of each bag of popcorn, while y will be used to represent the price of each drink.  First we can solve 10x + 10y = 130 for x:

10x + 10y = 130

10x + 10y + -10y = 130 - 10y (Subtract 10y from both sides)

10x = -10y + 130

Now divide 10 by both sides

x = -y + 13

Next, you will substitute -y + 13 for x in 3x + 5y = 56.5:

3x + 5y = 56.5

3(-y + 13) + 5y = 56.5

2y + 39 = 56.5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

2y + 39 + −39 = 56.5+ −39 (Add -39 to both sides)

2y = 17.5 (Now divide both sides by 2)

y = 8.75

You can check this by substituing 8.75 for y in x = -y + 13
