George and jerry are selling nuts for their band fundraiser. george sold 12 cans of
cashews and 7 cans of almonds for $112. jerry sold 4 cans of cashews and 10 cans
of almonds and made $68. set x = the price for a single can of cashews and y = to
the price for a single can of almonds. what was the price for a single can of cashews
and a single can of almonds?

Arrange the steps to solve this system of linear equations in the correct sequence. x + y = -2 2x – 3y = -9 tiles subtract 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) from 2x – 3y = -9 (given) to solve for x. substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 1. the solution for the system of equations is (-3, 1). x = -15 the solution for the system of equations is (-15, 13). add 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) to 2x – 3y = -9 (given), and solve for x. x = -3 substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 13. multiply the first equation by 3: 3(x + y) = 3(-2) 3x + 3y = -6.
