Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:BASE+3X=22.85

BASE+10X=40

BASE=40-10X NOW SUBSTITUTE (40-10X)FOR BASE IN THE FIRST EQUATION

40-10X+3X=22.85

-7X=22.85-40

-7X=-17.15

X=-17.15/-7

X=$2.45 IS THE PRICE FOR EACH POUND.

BASE+10*2.45=40

BASE+24.50=40

BASE=40-24.50

BASE=15.50 IS THE BASE PRICE FOR THE DELIVERY.

PROOF

15.50+3*2.45=22.85

15.50+7.35=22.85

22.85=22.85
