Ruben bought 2 large popcorn buckets and 4 small drinks for $20. Lucia bought 2 large popcorn buckets and 2 small drinks for $14. How much did the large popcorn
cost? The small drink?
Write a system of equations to model this situation where x = the cost of a large
popcorn and y= the cost of a small drink.
O x +y = 34
20 = x + 2y
Oy= 2x + 20
y = 2x + 14
2x + 4y = 20
2x+2y = 14
O x + y = 20
4x + y = 14
