HEL PLSS determine whether the system of equations has 1 solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. Michael and Ashley each buy x pounds of turkey and y pounds of ham. Turkey costs $3 per pounds at Store A and $4.50 per pound at Store B. Ham costs $4 per pound at Store A and $6 per pound at Store B. Michael spends $18 at store A, and Ashley spends $27 at store B. could Michael and Ashley have bought the same amount of turkey and ham? explain

Yes. Micheal and Ashley bought same amount of turkey which is 6 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires to you to form simultaneous equations and solve them.

Take the number of pounds for turkey to be x and that for ham to be y

For store A where michael spent $18

turkey cost $3 per pound 3x

ham cost $4 per pound4x

The equation for cost will be ; 3x+4y =18

For store B where Ashley spent $27

turkey cost $4.5 per pound

ham cost $6 per pound

The equation for cost is : 4.5x +6y=27

The two equations are;

3x+4y=18

4.5x+6y=27

Solving the equations by graph you get ;

x=6 and y=4.5 for both linear graphs. This means both equations produce similar amounts of turkey and ham . Micheal and Ashley bought same amount of turkey which is 6 pounds.

understand that i don't know the answers
