Answer 1

Explanation:

step 1. 2c + 3e = 52, 4c + 3e = 68.

step 2. this is a system of equations. solve the system.

step 3. subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd.

step 4. 2c = 16, therefore c = 8.

step 5. 2(8) + 3e = 52. 3e = 36. e = 12.

step 6. calzones = 8, empanadas = 12.

Answer 2

Calzones are $ 8 and an Empanada costs $12

Explanation:

2x+3y=52

4x+3y=68

Multiply by -1

-2x-3y=-52

4x+3y=68

combine

2x=16

x=8

plug in 8

4(8)+3y=68

32+3y=68

3y=36

y=12
