One way to look at this is to make 2 equations and treat it as a set of equations. We will make the cost of a donut equal to x, and the cost of a coffee equal to y.

Harold's order:
4x + 2y = 4.08

Melinda's order:
2x + 3y = 3.92

To combine these equations, we need to cancel out either x or y:
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>2x + 3y = 3.92
</span>
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>4x + 6y = 7.84
</span>
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>-4x - 6y = -7.84
</span>
We can now combine these equations:
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>-4x - 6y = -7.84
</span>
-4y = -3.76

y = 0.94

Therefore the cost of a large coffee is $0.94. We can plug this into either original equation to find the cost of a donut.
<span>4x + 2y = 4.08
</span>4x + 2(0.94) = 4.08
4x + 1.88 = 4.08
4x = 2.20
x = 0.55

The cost of a donut is $0.55, and the cost of a large coffee is $0.94.

Sergeu [11.5K]
For it to be a solution, it has to satisfy both inequalities...

subbing in (-4,-1)

2x + y < -5                           -x + y > 0
2(-4) - 1 < - 5                      -(-4) - 1 > 0
-8 - 1 < -5                              4 - 1 > 0
-9 < -5.....true                        3 > 0....true

solution is (-4,-1)

Answer:

Each bag will get 5 candy canes and 3 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the divisors of both numbers

75 = 1,75 : 3,25 : 5,15 : 15,5 : 25,3 : 75,1

45 = 1,45 : 3,15 : 5,9 : 9,5 : 15,3 : 45,1

Since the largest common divisor is 15, we want to use 15.

Each bag will get 5 candy canes and 3 cookies.
