Since Fernando paid 2.80 you divide 2.80 by the cost per pound (.25) so you divide 2.80 by .25 which equals 11.2 so Fernando bought 11.2 pounds of potatoes.

Answer:

<h3>Required <u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

$\sf 4x+8y=10\dots\dots (1)$

$\sf -4x+2y=-30\dots\dots (2)$

by adding eq (1) and eq (2) we get

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 4x+8y=20$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x+2y=-30$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 10y=-10$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf y={\dfrac {-10}{10}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf y=-1}}}$

Substitute the value in eq (2)

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x+2 (-1)=-30$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x-2=-30$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x=-30+2$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x=-28$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf x={\dfrac {-28}{-4}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=7}}}$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf (x,y)=(7,-1)}}}$
