P = pizza and c =cakes
Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220
Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.
4c = 220 - 28p
Now divide each side by 4
c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p
Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p
8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134
Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134
Let’s add 83p to each side.
715 = 134 + 83p
Subtract 134 from each side
581 = 83p
Divide each side by 83
p = $7

0.2y = 0.5x + 0.1
Reorder the terms:
0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x
Solving
0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '0.2'.
y = 0.5 + 2.5x
Simplifying
y = 0.5 + 2.5x"</span>
Answer:
0.5 I think. because for every 2 on the x axis, it grows 1 on the y axis.
The answer is 6. 8-6(6) = -28.
