Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
47.7
Step-by-step explanation:
length x width x height
6 x 3 x 2.65
Answer:
-21
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x + 2y = -18.........(i)
-3x - 2y = 54...........(ii)
add equ.(ii) to equ. (i)
(-6x + [-3x]) + (2y + [-2y]) = -18 + 54
-9x = 36
x = -4
sub x= -4 into equ (i)
-6(-4) +2y = -18
24 + 2y = -18
24 +18 = -2y
42 = -2y
y = -21
