Mary bought 2 large popcorn buckets and 4 small drinks for $20. Linda bought 2 large popcorn buckets and 2 small drinks for $14. What was the cost for the large popcorn and the small drink?

the cost for the large popcorn and the small drink is $4 and $3 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cost for the large popcorn and the small drink is shown below:

Let us assume the cost of the large popcorn be x

ANd, the small drink cost be y

Now as per the question

2x + 4y = $20

2x + 2y = $14

Now subtract equation 2 from equation 1

2y = $6

y = $3

Now for x it is

2x + 12 = $20

2x = $8

x = $4

Hence, the cost for the large popcorn and the small drink is $4 and $3 respectively

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
