9. The Strawberry Festival is finally here! Mrs. Sullivan bought two gourmet pretzels and four
boxes of strawberries for a total cost of $43. Mr.
Hawke bought two gourmet pretzels and two
boxes of strawberries for $30.
a. Write the system to represent the situation.
b. Solve the system (using the method of your
choice) to find how much a box of strawberries
cost.

24+x=y

step-by-step explanation:

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
