    A) 6x + 6y = 7.50

    B) 10x + 5y = 8.75

    Multiplying A) by - 5

    A) - 30x - 30y = - 37.50 Multiplying B) by 3

    B) 30x + 15y = 26.25 then adding A) and B)

    -15y = - 11.25

    y =.75 per orange

    A) 6x + 6y = 7.50

    6x + 6*.75 = 7.50

    6x + 4.50 = 7.50

    6x = 3.00

    x =.50 per apple
