Answer:
A salad costs $2.50
A sandwich costs $4.50
A drink costs $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.
Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:
3x + 2y + z = 17.75 (1)
Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:
x + y + 3z = 10.75 (2)
Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:
x = 2z (3)
Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:
-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50
3x + 2y + z = 17.75
→ x - 5z = -3.75
Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:
2z - 5z = -3.75
-3z = -3.75
z = 1.25
x = 2z → x = 2.50
x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50

Answer:
48 feet of fence
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle has 4 sides, the parallel sides are equal to each other in length.
If Hector used 14 feet of fence on the long side, he used 28 feet in total for both long sides.
If Hector used 10 feet for the width/short side, he used 20 feet in total for both short sides.
Put simply: (14 x 2) + (10 x 2) = 48 feet of fence in total
