Subtract the thickness of the known piece from the total thickness.
Because they have different denominators rewrite them to have the same.
9/32 x 2 = 18/64
Now you have 33/64 - 18/64 = 15/64
The other piece is 15/64 inch thick.

Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:
1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11
set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1
sub “o” into one of the eqn
5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2
therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20
