Answer:

Required system of equation is

4s+3c=26 and 5s+2c=29.

Explanation:

Let cost of 1 sundaes = s

Let cost of 1 cone = c

Then statement "Marcus is treating his family to ice cream he buys 4 Sundaes and 3 cones for the total of $26", gives equation:

4s+3c=26...(i)

And statement "Brian also buy ice cream for his family his total is 29 for purchasing 2 cones and 5 Sundaes " gives equation:

5s+2c=29...(ii)

Hence required system of equation is

4s+3c=26 and 5s+2c=29.
