A second basket has 6 spas--- I think you mean 6 soaps , so i will work with that

Answer:it is not possible to determine the price of the soap with the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s0ap be represented as x

and lotion be represented as y

2 soaps and 5 lotions costing  $20 gives us equation 1 as

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

second basket with 6 soaps and 15 lotions and costing $60 gives us equation 2 as

6x + 15y= 60------equation 2

Step 2 -- Solving

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

BY elimination method, we  multiply equation 1 by (3)

2x + 5y= 20  x (3)

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

Subtraction of equation 3 from equation 2 gives us

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

-6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

0x +0y=0  which is no solution

Therefore it is not possible to determine the price of the soap

A student solved the following problem and made an error:
liubo4ka [24]

All the steps were correct except the final statement. The mistake was in Line 6.

Line 6 triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFD by SAS.

<span>This does not follow. The SAS postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle is congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle. The student only proved that one side of the triangle (AC) is congruent to the side of another triangle (EF) .</span>
