Answer:
A) x+y=10 & 2x+3y=24
B) x=6
C) Substituting 6 in for x in each of the equations and finding the y factor, we see that we have 6 bottles of soda and 4 bags of chips (10 items that equals 24 dollars)
Step-by-step explanation:
A) x+y=10
2x+3y=24
B) make x+y=10 into y=10-x
Substitute 10-x in for y into the 2nd equation.
2x+3(10-x)=24
2x+30-3x=24
-1x=24-30
-1x=-6
x=6
C) Substituting 6 in for x in each of the equations and finding the y factor, we see that we have 6 bottles of soda and 4 bags of chips (10 items that equals 24 dollars)
