The are of his backyard is 10.4 times 15.83 or 164.632 yd^2
the sod piecs are 1.33 by 1.33 or 1.78 yd^2

Answer:
$25.25-lasagna, $12.25-garlic bread
Step-by-step explanation:
5L+3G=163
- 4L+4G=150
______________
4(5L+3G=163)
-5(4L+4G=150)
_____________
20L+12G=652
-20L-20G=-750
_____________
-8G=-98
-8G/-8 = -98/-8
G=$12.25
now plug that into G in any of the 2 equations at the top and you can solve for L(price of lasagna)
