----------------------------------------------------
Define x
----------------------------------------------------
Let x be the price of a box of standard chocolates.
Standard chocolate = x
Deluxe chocolate = x + 5

----------------------------------------------------
Construct the equations:
----------------------------------------------------
2 boxes of Deluxe chocolate = 2(x + 5)
3 boxes of standard chocolate = 3x

She paid a total of $47.50
⇒ 2(x + 5) + 3x = 47.5 .
2x + 10 + 3x = 47.5 // Apply distributive property
5x + 10 = 47.5 // Combine like terms
5x = 37.5 // Subtract 10 from both sides
x = 7.5 // Divide by 5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Price of a standard chocolate is $7.50.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Y=-x-2
y=3x+2
multiply the first equation by 3: 3y=-3x-6
add up this equation with equation 2: 4y=-4, y=-1
-1=3x+2, x=-1
so the solution point is (-1,-1)
