Answer 1

Answer:

Apple Pie cost $8

Lemon Meringue Pie = $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Creating some variables:

A = apple pie

L = lemon meringue pie

We have two equations:

11A + 1L = 103

11A + 12L=268

You can use elimination or the substitution method to solve. I will be using substitution method.

Solve the first equation for L:

11A + 1L = 103

subtract 11A to both sides

L = 103 - 11A

Plug this into the second equation

$11A + 12(103-11A) =268$

distribute the 12

$11A + 1236 - 132A = 268$

combine the A and subtract the 1236

$-121A = -968$

Divide -968 by -121

A = 8

Next plug this 8 back into one of the two original equations above:

$11(8) + 1L =103$

$88+L=103$

subtract 103 by 88

L = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

$A=8$, $L=15$

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of time Apple pies will be represented by $A$ and Lemon will be represented by $L$

Based on the information given it is clear that:

$11A+1L=103$

$11A+12L= 268$

We can rearrange the first equation to solve for $A$, in terms of $L$

$11A+1L=103$

subtract $1L$ form both sides

$11A=103-L$

Now let's input this into the second equation to solve for $L$

$(103-L)+12L=268$

combine like terms

$11L+103=268$

subtract $103$ from both sides

$11L=165$

divide both sides by $11$

$L=15$

Now input  this value into the first equation for $L$

$11A+15=103$

subtract $15$ from both sides

$11A=88$

divide both sides by $11$

$A=8$
