Answer: x = 2 , y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
10x - 2y = 24 ..................... equation 1
6x + 2y = 8 ........................ equation 2
solving the system of linear equation by elimination method , add equation 1 and 2
16x = 32
divide through by 16
x = 2
substitute x = 2 into equation 1 to find the value of y
10(2) - 2y = 2y
20 - 2y = 2y
20 = 4y
y = 5
The unit price of each topping is $1.40. Divide $12.60 by the 3 toppings. That will give you the price of all 3 toppings together which is $4.20. Divide $4.20 by 3 and that will give you the unit price of each individual topping which is $1.40. To check your answer, multiply $1.40 by 3 which is $4.20. Then, multiply $4.20 by 3 which gives you the whole price which is $12.60
