by the use of elimination method
make all coefficients of subject to be eliminated similar..by multiplying the coefficients with one another
for eqn(i)
5(-10y+9x=-9)
-50y+45x=-45
for eqn(ii)
9(10y+5x=-5)
90y+45x=-45
-50y+45x=-45
90y+45x=-45
...subtract each set from the other...
we get
-140y+0=0
y=0
from eqn(i)
10y+5x=-5
0+5x=-5
x= -1
Pretty sure its 132
Hope this helps!
So taking this as if there are 13 dozens of cookies. First we do 13 times 12 which would be 156 cookies in total. Then 156 cookies times 2.08 is 324.48
