Each can of soup has 400 mg of sodium and each frozen dinner has 600 mg of
sodium. Nevaeh purchased a total of 7 cans of soup and frozen dinners which
collectively contain 3600 mg of sodium. Graphically solve a system of equations in
order to determine the number of cans of soup purchased, x, and the number of
frozen dinners purchased, y.

Answer 1

3 number of can soup and 4 number of frozen dinners was purchased at the grocery store.
