Hi Alexia from LA, CA...hope you had a great weekend.

Great...a linear Algebra problem. I'll get you stated with 2 hints: That is one of them...I'll set it up for you.

        C for chips       D for dips

                   6C  +  3D  =  30         and        7C   +   5D  =   41

Using either the Elimination or Substitution, solve for C and D.

Try and solve this with what you know and you will have the tools to solve this and more.
