PLEASE HELP ME


1. At a fundraiser breakfast, the bill for three glasses of orange juice and five pancake specials is $7.60, whereas the bill for one glass of orange juice and two pancake specials is $2.90.

a. Write a system of two equations to model this problem. Let j stand for the price of a glass of juice and let p stand for the price of a pancake special.
b. Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.
c. What would be the bill for one glass of orange juice and one pancake special?

Answer 2

3j+5p=7.60

Answer 3

j +2p = 2.90

Answer 4

let number of glasses of orange juice = J
let number of pancake specials = P

So, " the bill for three glasses of orange juice and five pancake specials is $7.60"
gives you the equation, `3J+5P=7.6`
and " whereas the bill for one glass of orange juice and two pancake specials is $2.90."
gives you the equation, ` J+2P=2.9`

Answer 5

So
```
your system is
3J+5P=7.6
J+2P=2.9

:)
```

Answer 6

A.) 3j+5p=7.6
J+2p=2.9

B.) j=2.9-2p
3(2.9-2p)+5p=7.6
8.7-6p+5p=7.6
7.6-8.7=-p
P=1.1

Plug in
J+2(1.1)=2.9
J=0.7

C.) p+j=?
1.1+0.7=1.8
$1.80
