EZ!
Let's say each box costs $X and each program costs $Y
Thus, Mike's family spent:
$(5X+3Y)
or
$41
Sean's family spent
$(3X+2Y)
or
$26
This yields us a system of two equations:
5x+3y=41
3x+2y=26
<span>5x+3y=41
</span>2y=26-3x
<span>5x+3y=41
</span><span>y=13-1.5x
</span>
5x+3(13-1.5x)=41
y=13-1.5x
5x+39-4.5x=41
<span>y=13-1.5x
</span>
0.5x+39=41
<span>y=13-1.5x
</span>
0.5x=2
<span>y=13-1.5x
</span>
x=4
<span>y=13-1.5x
</span>
x=4
<span>y=7
</span>
Each box costs $4 and each program costs $7
A number raised to the second power has an exponent above it. To the second power means the number multiplied by itself once.
x^2 is equal to (x)(x)
Hope this helps :)
I think you might want to reword the question
