Answer:
the small pillows costed $20 and the large pillows costed $45
Explanation:
this can be set up were x= price of small pillows and y=price of large pillows
according the the question, 265=2x+5y and 635=7x+11y
so now solve this system of equations:
first solve 265=2x+5y for x
add -2x to both sides
-2x+265=5y
add -265 to both sides
-2x=5y-265
divide both sides by -2
x=(-5/2)y+(265/2)
substitute this value of x in 635=7x+11y and solve for y
635=7((-5/2)y+(265/2)) +11y
y=45
substitute 45 for y in x=(-5/2)y+(265/2)and solve for x
x=20
so the small pillows are $20 and the large are $45
