He! I went to Starbucks and purchased three coffees and two cake pops with a total cost of $7 dollars. Then I
went to Einstein Bagels and purchased two coffees and four cake pops for $8 dollars. What is the price for a
single coffee and single cake pop?

x=cost of a single coffee
y= cost of a cake pop

3x+2y+7
2x+4y+8

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is:

● 3x + 2y = 7

● 2x + 4y = 8

Where x is the price of a single coffee and y is the price of a single coffee

We will solve this simultaneous equations using the graphing method:

The solutions is the intersection point of to the lines.

(Picture below)

The intersection point is (1.5,1.25)

x = 1.5

y =1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=7

2x+4y=8

Multiply the first equation by -2

-2(3x+2y=7 )

-6x-4y = -14

Add this to the second equation

-6x-4y = -14

2x+4y=8

-4x = -6

Divide by -4

-4x/-4 = -6/-4

x = 1.5

Now find y

3x+2y=7

3(1.5) + 2y = 7

4.5 +2y = 7

Subtract 4.5 from each side

2y = 2.5

Divide by 2

y = 1.25

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
