Dwayne buys 1 loaf of bread and 6 eggs for $4.45. Sheila buys 1 loaf of bread and 1 dozen eggs for $5.65. Let x be the cost, in dollars, of a loaf of bread. Let y be the cost, in dollars, of an egg.

cost of bread = $3.25

Cost per egg = $0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of a loaf of bread and 6 eggs = $4.45 - - (1)

Cost of a loaf of bread and a dozen eggs ( 12 eggs) = $5.65 - - - (2)

Let x = cost of bread and y = cost of egg

x + 6y = 4.45

x + 12y = 5.65

Subtract 1 from 2

6y - 12y = 4.45 - 5.65

-6y = - 1.2

y = $0.2

Hence,

From x + 6y = $4.45

Where y = $0.2

x + 6($0.2) = $4.45

x + $1.2 = $4.45

x = $4.45 - $1.2

x = $3. 25

Hence, cost of bread = $3.25

Cost per egg = $0.2

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12
