x = $ price of milk (1 gallon)
y = $ price of eggs (dozen)
z = $ price of bread (loaf)
---
2x + y = 5.72
2x + 2y + z = 8.00
x + z = 3.00
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
2x + y = 5.72
2x + 2y + z = 8
x + z = 3
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
