Question

I’ve done a I just need help with b and c

Answer 1

A) x+y=10 & 2x+3y=24

B) x=6

C) Substituting 6 in for x in each of the equations and finding the y factor, we see that we have 6 bottles of soda and 4 bags of chips (10 items that equals 24 dollars)

Explanation:

A) x+y=10

2x+3y=24

B) make x+y=10 into y=10-x

Substitute 10-x in for y into the 2nd equation.

2x+3(10-x)=24

2x+30-3x=24

-1x=24-30

-1x=-6

x=6

C) Substituting 6 in for x in each of the equations and finding the y factor, we see that we have 6 bottles of soda and 4 bags of chips (10 items that equals 24 dollars)
