Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cupcake cost = c
Let the milkshake cost = m
4c + 3 m = 23
2c + 4m = 24 multiply this equation by 2
2(2c + 4m = 24)
4c + 8m = 48 Now put the first equation underneath this one
4c + 3m = 23 Subtract
5m = 25 Divide by 5
m = 25/5
m = 5
Use 2c + 4m = 24
m = 5
2c + 4*5 = 24 Combine
2c + 20 = 24 Subtract 20 from both sides
2c = 24 - 20
2c = 4 Divide by 2
c = 4/2
c = 2
Answer
