<PRE><B>Question 1190565</B>
Customers can buy apple pies and pumpkin pies. 
 x = no. of apple pies
 y = no. of  pumpkin pies
Mr. C sold a total of 34 pies.
  x + y = 34
  y = (34-x), use this form for substitution 
Apple pies are $10 each and pumpkin pies $7. For the school fundraiser, Mr. C made $295.
 10x + 7y = 295
replace y with (34-x)
10x + 7(34-x) = 295
10x + 238 - 7x = 295
10x - 7x = 295 - 238
3x = 57
x = 57/3
x = 19 apple pies
and 
34 - 19 = 15 pumpkin pies

Check this, find actual amt for each
10*19 = 190
 7*15 = 105
