Answer:

Each hotdog costs $1.65

Each juice drink costs $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by letting x represent the number of hot dogs and y the number of juice drinks.

The Baxter family bought 6 hot dogs and 4 juices for $14.10.

6x + 4y = 14.10

The Farley family bought 3 hot dogs and 4 juices for $9.15.

3x + 4y = 9.15

Now, we subtract these equations.

6x + 4y = 14.10\\- (3x + 4y = 9.15)

Since y has reversed coefficients, it gets eliminated. Now solve for x.

6x+4y-3x-4y=14.1-9.15\\3x = 4.95\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{4.95}{3}

\frac{4.95}{3} = 1.65

x = 1.65

NOW, we find y by substituting x with 1.65 (in either equation).

We'll use the first equation.

6x + 4y = 14.10

6(1.65) + 4y = 14.10

9.9 + 4y = 14.10\\4y = 14.1 - 9.9\\4y = 4.2

\frac{4y}{4} = \frac{4.2}{4} \\y = 1.05

x = 1.65

y = 1.05

x represents hotdogs and y represents juice drinks.

Therefore, each hotdog costs $1.65 and each juice drink costs $1.05.

<em> I hope this helps! :)</em>
