Explanation:

Rewrite the question for better understanding:

A vegetable stand sells p pumpkins for $5.00 each and s squashes for $3.00. On Monday, the stand sold 6 more squashes than pumpkins and made a total of $98.00. Which system of equations can be used to determine the number of pumpkins and squashes sold?

Solution

1. Cost of p pumpkins at $5.00: 5p

2. Cost of s squashes at $3.00

3. Cost of p pumpkins and s squashes: 5p + 3s

5. Total value of $98:

First equation: 5p + 3s = 98

6. 6 more squashes than pumpkins

Second equation: s = p + 6

7. System of equations:

       

Iwas in a argument about a certain class grade with my teacher. it was a ‘a-’when i felt that i deserved a ‘a’. i showed him (my teacher) why i felt i derserved so. i questioned what i got wrong and showed him what i learned. i look back to that teacher with nothing but love and support because that’s the class that i actually learned the most. the moral of the story is to see where the other person is coming from and what they have done. also, when in a conflict, never attack the persons character. this will just make the argument end poorly.
