Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D) $3.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if we want to see the price of beef and chicken the same we should use the same variable for them making the equations

$y=2.35+.25x\\y=1.75+.4x$

now let's subtract the equations for elimination

$y=2.35+.25x\\-y=1.75+.4x\\\\=\\0=.6+-.15x$

now let's solve for x

$0=.6-.15x\\0-.6=.6-.15x-.6\\-.6=-.15x\\\frac{-.6}{-15} =\frac{-.15x}{-.15} \\4=x$

now let's sub x into the original equations

$y=2.35+.25(4)\\y=2.35+1\\y=3.35\\\\y=1.75+.4(4)\\y=1.75+1.6\\y=3.35$
