Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call (as suggested)
p = the cost of one pizza
c = the cost of one cheeseburger
The Anderson Family ordered 2 pizzas and 4 cheeseburgers and paid $31.50, thus:
2p + 4c = 31.50 [1]
Next weekend, they ate at the same restaurant and ordered 3 pizzas and 2 cheeseburgers for $33.25, thus:
3p + 2c = 33.25 [2]
To know the cost of one pizza and one cheeseburger, we need to solve the system of equations defined by [1] and [2]
