To solve this system, we can use the elimination method by multiplying Jody's equation by 2 so the terms match:
2×(4p+2b=300)→8p+4b=6002 cross open paren 4 p plus 2 b equals 300 close paren right arrow 8 p plus 4 b equals 600 Subtract Ralph's equation: (Note: While some versions of this task result in buying chips and candy answers
Based on the purchases made by Ralph and Jody, we can create two linear equations where represents the price of a bag of potato chips and represents the price of a candy bar: Jody's purchase: 2. Solve for the variables To solve this system, we can use the
Clancy has $1.00. To see if he has enough for one of each, add the prices together: (or $1.05) To solve this system
