Answer:

Unit price of  potatoes = $1.50.

Unit price of onions - $3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is

6p + 3n = 18

n = 2p

Substitute  n = 2p in the first equation:

6p + 3(2p) = 18

6p + 6p = 18

12p= 18

p = 18/12 = $1.50 .

Now plug p = 1.50 into the second equation:

n = 2*1.50 = $3.

What is the first step you will use to solve this equation:
Verizon [17]
Subtract 4x from both sides

4x +2 = 7x - 13 would then simplify to

3x - 13 = 2 ( you can switch the problem around as long as you dont switch the variables around )

then you have to + 13 which simplifies to

3x = 15

then you divide by 3 which equals

x=5
