Answer 6

I also decided lI had to post the question up again

Answer 7

let's start from the beginning again:

3p + 2b = 15.50

Susan's order:

p + 4b = 20

solve for p and b using elimination or substitution

start by multiplying equation 1 by 2

let me know what you get

Answer 8

if you are having trouble, that is perfectly fine, but I can't read your mind, you have to say something.

Answer 9

ok im working on it

Answer 10

@Valacoid p=6.2

Answer 11

that is not correct

what did you get after multiplying 3p + 2b = 15.50 by 2?

Answer 12

just take every term in this equation and multiply it by 2

3p * 2 = ?

Answer 13

im almost finish i know its a long hold up

Answer 14

6p+4p=31 is ths correct

Answer 15

good (should be a 4b term not a p term though)

so

6p + 4b = 31
p + 4b = 20

now subtract the two equations

6p - p = ?

Answer 16

tht will = 5p?

Answer 17

im correct? or do
i have to do both sides?

Answer 18

good, and 31 - 20 = 11

now, 5p = 11

p = ?

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

5p = 11

divide both sides by 5 to solve for p.

Answer 21

p=2.2

Answer 22

awesome, now let's plug this back into equation 2 and solve for b

p + 4b = 20

so

2.2 + 4b = 20

what does b equal?

Answer 23

b=4.45 ??

Answer 24

awesome! so p = 2.2 and b = 4.45 and those are your answers
