Answer:
Streamers are $2.50 each
Balloons are $1.50 each
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations
3s + 15b = 30
2s + 4b = 11
Solve by elimination: multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by -3.
6s + 30b = 60
-6s -12b = -33
18b = 27
b = 1.5
Plug in 1.5 as b to find s
3s + 15(1.5) = 30
3s +22.5 = 30
3s = 7.5
s = 2.5
The streamers are $2.50 and the balloons are $1.50
4
Distribute the 2 to the X and 7
4+2x+14=26
2x+18 =26
minus the 18 from 26
2x = 8
divide 2x and 8 by 2
X= 4
