What do you expect me to do with it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
help me solve it please its systemof equations
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I know, what do you want me to solve for?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the price of each
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is this online, or on paper?

I will teach you another method. I don't know what it is called, but it works here.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Set it up with drinks being y and food being x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And set it equal to the total.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 equations.

1 on top of the other.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea thats how i have it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i just dont know how to solve it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, subtract 1 from the other. Each term
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You should get 2x+y=2.05

Right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait subtrct a dollar
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got x=19.35 and y=24.25 is that right

You added, you need to subtract.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait, how did you get there?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean cant skip
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think you skipped some steps.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok 6x+4y=6.70 first problem right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then solve for y in the 2x+y=2.05

OpenStudy (anonymous):
where did you get that 2x+y=2.05
OpenStudy (anonymous):
|dw:1360117196072:dw|Subtract both equations
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then what
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then solve for y.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then substitute.

Rob, I'm doing this correctly, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Solve {6 hotdogs + 4 drinks == 6.70,
4 hotdogs + 3 drinks == 4.65} for hotdogs and drinks
{hotdogs = 0.75, drinks = 0.55}
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do i divide 2x by 2.05
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to get y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, subtract 2x.

I need to finish HW, listen to Rob.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Bye.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=2x+2.05 right rob
