    Eggs are 6 dollars a dozen and bread is 3 dollars a loaf.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the price of a dozen eggs be e dollars and the price of the bread be b dollars.

    So we have the system:

    3e + 5b = 33

    2e + 2b = 18

    We use the method of elimination:

    Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by - 5:

    6e + 10b = 66

    --10e - 10b = - 90 Adding:-

    -4e = - 24

    e = 6.

    Substitute e = 6 in the first equation:

    18 + 5b = 33

    5b = 33 - 18

    5b = 15

    b = 3.

    The answer to your question is below

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Kelly bought 3 dozens of eggs and 5 loads of bread cost = $33

    Fawn bought 2 dozens of eggs and 2 loads of bread cost = $18

    Cost of each item = ?

    Process

    1. - Write one equation for Kelly and another for Fawn to solve this problem.

    eggs = e

    bread = b

    3e + 5b = 33 Equation l

    2e + 2b = 18 Equation ll

    2. - Solve by elimination

    - Multiply equation l by 2 and equation ll by - 3

    6e + 10b = 66

    -6e - 6b = -54

    Simplify 0 + 4b = 12

    -Solve for b b = 12/4

    b = 3

    3. - Substitute b in equation ll to find e

    2e + 2 (3) = 18

    2e + 6 = 18

    2e = 18 - 6

    2e = 12

    e = 12/2

    e = 6

    4. - Conclusion

    A dozen of eggs costs $6

    A load of bread cost $3
