You want to solve this set of linear equations by the elimination method.
Let x=price of bag of flour and y=price of bag of sugar
Multiply the first equation by -3.
-3(7x+5y=584)
Multiply the second equation by 5.
5(5x+3y=384)
Solve by elimination.
X=42
Substitute value of x into one of the original equations.
Y=58
