Drinks, x, and popcorn, y.
38.75 = 5x+2y
37.25 = 3x + 4y
Let's solve this using the elimination method
subtract the 2nd row from the first
<span>7x=40.2<span>5
divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
</span></span><span>x=5.7<span>5

Substitute x into an equation
</span></span><span><span>10(5.75)+4y=77.5
multiply
</span></span>57.5+4y=77.<span>5
subtract 57.5 from both sides
</span>4y=77.5−57.<span>5
Simplify
</span>4y=2<span>0
divide both sides by 4 to isolate y
y = 5

To check you would plug x and y into the equations and see if it equals properly...

The price of drinks is $5.75, the price of popcorn is $5.

Hope this helps

a store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. for 9 pounds of chocolate chips and 7 pounds of walnuts, the total cost
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The cost for each pound of chocolate chips is $2.75 and the cost for each pound of walnuts is $3.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+7y=51

3x+5y=27

----------------

9x+7y=51

-3(3x+5y)=-3(27)

-------------------------

9x+7y=51

-9x-15y=-81

-------------------

-8y=-30

8y=30

y=30/8

simplify,

y=15/4

9x+7(15/4)=51

9x+105/4=51

9x=51-105/4

9x=(204-105)/4

9x=99/4

x=(99/4)/9

x=(99/4)(1/9)=99/36

simplify

x=2.75

So the cost for each pound of chocolate chips is $2.75 and the cost for each pound of walnuts is $3.75.
