C= the price of a cheeseburger and l = the price of a lemonade:
Divide the second equation by -2 to begin the process of solving by elimination:
Now that we have c, 4, we can plug it in to one of the equations to find l:
So, each cheeseburger is $4 and each lemonade is $1. The final answer is:
1 cheeseburger and 2 cups of lemonade would cost $6.
