Answer 8

ok so we need to write an equation
so the total equation

let c= coke cans and let p= pepsi cans
the total equation would be 6c+4p=252

Answer 9

so i do 6c + 4p=252

Answer 10

then we need to get one of the variable alone so we can substitute
and yes

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

so i got 9

Answer 13

ok
so we needa get an equation that we can substitute so the total eqaution being 6c+4p=252
right we needa move the numbers to get one alone so we subtract 4p on boths sides then we have 6c=252-4p

Answer 14

alright that makes sense

Answer 15

im prolly doing this wrong im in college now so this sh** was from a long time ago

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

Answer 18

i swear im dumb or something i just got 17.5

Answer 19

wym did u divide both 252 and the -4p u needa remember to do both so divide -4 by 6

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

i got negative -0.6666666666666666666

Answer 22

ok so now we have c=17.5-.67

Answer 23

ok

Answer 24

now substitute so we have our equation 6c+4p=252

we have what c equals right

Answer 25

i think so

Answer 26
