    You want to solve this set of linear equations by the elimination method.

    Let x=price of bag of flour and y=price of bag of sugar

    Multiply the first equation by - 3.

    -3 (7x+5y=584)

    Multiply the second equation by 5.

    5 (5x+3y=384)

    Solve by elimination.

    X=42

    Substitute value of x into one of the original equations.

    Y=58
