Charles buys 10 drinks and 3 sandwiches for $34. Isabel buys 5 drinks and 4

sandwiches for $37. They want to determine the cost of each item.
Write a system of linear equations to model the problem. Let d equal the cost
of each drink and let s equal the cost of each sandwich. Solve the system
algebraically. How much does each item cost?
