The answer is the third option.
The explanation is shown below:
1. You must keep on mind the information given in the exercise:
- She bough 3 pounds of coffee.
- She bought 2 pounds of chocolate.
- She spent a total of $24.
2. Therefore, you can call the price per pound of coffee
and the price per pound of chocolate
.
3. When you multiply 3 pounds by the price per pound of coffee, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 3 pounds. When you multiply 2 pounds by the price per pound of chocolate, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 2 pounds. If you add both amounts, you obtain the total spent, which was $24.
4. Therefore, you can express this as following:

Subtract 7 from -2 and 7 since 7 is currently a positive number
Your equation should now look like this:
-3x=-9
Next you have to divide by 3 on each side to get:
X=3
Answer:
B (2.5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y = 5 (multiply all by 4)
8x- 4y = 20
-8x - 4y = - 20
eliminate the 4y
8x- 4y = 20
-8x - 4y = - 20
-------------------- –
16x = 40
x = 40/16 = 2.5
now we substitute x with 2.5
2x - y = 5
2(2.5) - y = 5
y = 0
