Answer:
popcorn=4$
soft drink=4.5$
Step-by-step explanation:
- if we used omitting method:
1-we multiply (p+s=8.5) by (-2) so we could get rid of (s) and be leftover with (p)
so: (-2p-2s= -17)
2- we subtract this equation from (p+2s=13) and the result will be (-p= -4)
3- divide them by (-1) and the result is (p=4)
4-(p+s=8.5) ,substitute (p) with (4) and make it go to the other side with negative sign and the result of (s) is (8.5-4=4.5)
- if we used substituting method:
1-(p+s=8.50), we will make (s) go to the other side with negative sign so the result is (p=8.50-s)
2-(p+2s=13.00), substitute (p) with (8.50-s):
(8.50-s+2s=13)
3- make (8.50) go to the other side with negative sign:
(s=13-8.50=4.5) and then you could get (p)
