You decide you want to become a photographer and you want to see how much money you can make doing so. As you look into current prices, you decide you can offer two deals: 5 small photos and 8 large photos for $92 or 10 small photos and 3 large photos for $67. How much are you charging for a single small photo and a single large photo in these deals?
1. Explain what you are trying to figure out in this problem.

2. Define variables for the two unknowns you explained in #1.

3. Write an equation for each package deal you are offering. Remember to make the cost of the photos in the packa

system of equations...your variables represent the prices of small/large photos

Turn them into equations.
5 small photos and 8 large for 92
5s + 8L = 92

10 small and 3 large for 67
10s + 3L = 67

(5s + 8L) -2 = (92)-2
10 s + 3L = 67

-10s - 16L = -184
10s + 3L = 67
--------------------
0 - 13L = -117

-13L = -117  --> L = $9

5s + 8L = 92
--> 5s + 8(9) = 92
--> 5s + 72 = 92
--> 5s = 20
--> s = $4
