To determine the cost of each item, we need to set up equations. From the problem statement, we have three unknowns so we need three equations. We set up equations as follows:
let x cost of small pizzas
y cost of soda
z cost of salad
two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14
2x + y + z = 14
one small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads cost $15
x + y + 3z = 15
three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads cost $22
3x + y + 2z = 22
Solving for x, y and z, we will have:
x = $ 5
y = $ 1
z = $ 3

Answer:
20 m by 10 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let w be width and l be length , then
2(l + w) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )
l + w = 30 ( subtract w from both sides )
l = 30 - w → (1)
lw = 200 → (2)
Substitute l = 30 - w into (2)
w(30 - w) = 200 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
30w - w² = 200 ( subtract 200 from both sides )
30w - w² - 200 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
w² - 30w + 200 = 0 ← in standard form
(w - 10)(w - 20) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for w
w - 10 = 0 ⇒ w = 10
w - 20 = 0 ⇒ w = 20
Substitute these values into (1)
l = 30 - 10 = 20
l = 30 - 20 = 10
dimensions of field is 20 m by 10 m
