Answer:
Diapers costs $11 and formula is $13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's name diapers as A and formula as B.
Simply the equations:
1A + 2B = $37(1)
2A + 5B = $87(2)
Clear D from one equation.
A = $37 - 2B(1)
Replace D into the other equation.
2*($37 - 2B) + 5B = $87(2)
$74 - 4B + 5B = $87
$74 + B = $87
B = $87 - $74 = $13
Find A, now knowing B.
A = $37 - 2($13)
A = $37 - $26 = $11
Make the numerator be the sum of a multiple of the denominator and a remainder...
