Question

Can someone figure this out, two pots and four large succuents for $76.00.

one pot and three large succulents for $53.00
Find the prices of the pots and succulents.

Answer 1

P = 8
S=15

System-

Equation 1: 2p + 4s = 76
Equation 2: p + 3s = 53

Solve by elimination.

2p + 4s = 76
-2(p + 3s) = 53

Equation 2 turns into -2p - 6s = -106

2p + 4s = 76
-2p - 6s = -106

Combine alike terms

-2s = -30
s = 15


Use one of the original equation and plug “s” in.

p + 3(15) = 53
p + 45 = 53
p= 8
