The total of 2 buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy would be $23.25
To answer this question you need to form a set of simultaneous equations and solve them. We can do this by saying that a bucket of popcorn = P, and a box of candy = C. Then we can say:
4P + 6C = 46.50
P + C = 9.75
There are then two possible ways to solve; you can either say that C = 9.75 - P using the second equation and then substitute it into the first, or you can multiply the second equation by either 4 or 6 to cancel out P or C.
I’m going to multiply the second equation by 4:
4P + 4C = 39
Now we can subtract this for, the first equation:
4P + 6C = 46.50
4P + 4C = 39
2C = 7.50
C = 3.75
Now we can substitute this value of C into one of the equations to find P:
P + C = 9.75
P + 3.75 = 9.75
P = 6
And now to answer the question, you just multiply P by 2 and C by 3 and add them together, which gives you $23.25
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Answer:
-2k + 6
hope its right
-2k - (-5) + 1
You should always switch the signs to their opposites if you're mutiplying a negative such as the - (-5) Hope I make sense
-2k + 5 + 1
-2k + 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually Welcome to the Concept of the linear equations..
Here given value of x= 5 and y =1 , so we get as,
5a + b = 38 and 5b - a = 8
so, now we multiply equation no. 2 by 5 all over.
==> 25b - 5a = 40....(1)
hence adding new equation and equation no. 1
26b = 78
b = 78/26
hence b = 3 , and a = 7
