Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.
Let x represent the cost of each pound of squash and y represent the cost of each pound of eggplant.
3 pounds of squash and 2 pounds of eggplants cost $2.85. Hence:
3x + 2y = 2.85 (1)
4 pounds of squash and 5 pounds of eggplants cost $5.41. Hence:
4x + 5y = 5.41 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:
x = 0.49, y = 0.69
Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.

Answer:
(-4, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x - 8y = 20; y = 5x + 19
y = 5x + 19; -3x - 8y = 20
y = 5x + 19
-3x - 8y = 20
-3x - 8(5x + 19) = 20
-43x - 152 = 20
-43x - 152 + 152 = 20 + 152
-43x = 172
-43x / -43 = 172 / -43
x = -4
y = 5x + 19
y = (5)(-4) + 19
y = -1
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 but don’t flip the symbol.
You only flip the inequality symbol if you divide by a negative number.
If you’re solving for x (which you are), you want to get x by itself. The only way to do that is to divide by 4.
