Two scout troops went shopping for
camping supplies at the same store. the
first group spent $299 on 7 flashlights and
11 sleeping bags. the second group spent
$304 on 8 flashlights and 11 sleeping bags.
write and solve a system of equations
using elimination to find the price of each
flashlight and each sleeping bag.

The Sleeping bags are 24 dollars and the flashlights are 5 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

I personally didn't use elimination, but...

Hopefully this helps you solve it!

Take both groups total and subtract them giving $5 for the flashlights and then take either one of the groups and multiply the number of flashlights by 5,  then subtract that from the total from the group you chose. Then, divide the difference by the number of sleeping bags the group you chose bought.

Peace Out

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
