5 reeses and 2 Doritos cost 9.75 and 3 reeses and 6 Doritos cost 9.45 what does 1 reeses cost and 1 Doritos cost???

Answer 1

Ok, so what we want to do is create an equation or two that will hold the information given. So for example:
5x(reesec) + 2x(doritos) = 9.75
3x(reeces) + 6x(doritos) = 9.45

Answer 2

ignore that

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

you could even assign the price of the reeces and the price of the dorios their own variable:
eg.
--> let the price of one reece be x
--> let the price of one dotito be y

so the equations would be:

\[5*x + 2*y = 9.75 and 3*x + 6*y=9.45\]
