snowflake0531:

Do you know how to create linear equations? for this problem

snowflake0531:

You can answer, you know. Yes or no.

marissabartoldo:

no i don't

snowflake0531:

Okay

snowflake0531:

We can first make our x and our y x can be sandwiches, y can be drinks You know what variables are, right?

marissabartoldo:

yeah

snowflake0531:

Okay, so now, we see that 6 sandwiches, 4 drinks, 53 dollars 6x+4y=53 Get that?

snowflake0531:

Yes or no. Do you get how I got to that equation

marissabartoldo:

yes so I just solve the equation now?

snowflake0531:

No, we still need another equation 2 variables=2 equations

snowflake0531:

For the second one 4 sandwiches, 6 drinks, 47 dollars 4x+6y=47

snowflake0531:

By the way, are you allowed to graph this to get the solution? Or do you have to do the other methods

marissabartoldo:

no i can't use a graph

snowflake0531:

Oh Do you know how to do the elimination or substitution method

marissabartoldo:

elimination

snowflake0531:

Okay So we have 6x+4y=53 4x+6y=47 Do you want me to walk you through it, or do you want to check it with me at the end

marissabartoldo:

check-in I think I got it now thank you

snowflake0531:

k~

marissabartoldo:

so it's 6.50?

snowflake0531:

Yep!

marissabartoldo:

ok thank you so much
