Answer:
x=4 y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
given equation
x+y=5
so x= 5-y.......(i)
and
x-2y=2
so x= 2+2y........(ii)
then
5-y=2+2y
therefore y=1
and x=4
Let the cost of 1 ribeye steak dinner = x
The cost of 1 salmon dinner = y
Then,
11x + 18y = 592.29 (1)
16x + 6y = 580.56 (2)
Multiplying the second equation by 3, we get,
48x + 18y = 1741.68 (3)
(3) - (1) gives
37x = 1149.39
x = 31.06
Substituting the value for x in (1), we get,
11(31.06) + 18y = 592.29
341.66 + 18y = 592.29
18y = 250.63
y = 13.92
Hence, the cost of ribeye steak dinner = 31.06 and the cost of grilled salmon dinner = 13.92.
Here is the solution..x equals to √3..which is equals to 1.73205
