Answer 3

should i give u the answers?

Answer 4

im trying.....lol

Answer 5

lol, Alright.

Answer 6

ok, im confused

Answer 7

let s = soda
let c = ships

6s + 2c = 7.08
8s + 5c = 12.45

30s + 10s = 35.40
16s + 10s = 24.90

Take away them from eachother

14s = 10.5
s = 0.75

6s+2c = 7.08
6x0.75+2c = 7.08
4.5 +2C = 7.08
2C = 2.58
c = 1.29

Answer 8

would that be 14x + 7y = 19.53?

Answer 12

please?

Answer 13

where did you come up with the 30 + 10 equations?

Answer 14

I should say 30s+10c and 16s+10c. Sorry

I mutliplied every term by 5, and then in the bottom question I multiplied every term by 2.

Then as you can see the 10s are the same. I took the top equation away from the bottom equation and this left 10c = 0

I could then solve for c and got an answer
