What would be my next step? How do I solve this?

The story problem is:

Angie's family goes to the movies and purchases popcorn and drinks to enjoy during the show. The family purchased five drinks and 3 tubs of popcorn to share. Altogether, they spent $32.50 on the concessions. Jason's family also went to the movies. They purchased four drinks and six tubs of popcorn to share. They paid $44.00 for their concessions. How much did each tub of popcorn and each drink cost?

I came up with the equations:

5d+3t=32.40

3d+6t=44.00

I decided to use substitution and so far have this but got stuck:

5d+3t=32.50

  1. I subtracted 3t from both sides

This gives me 5d=32.50=3t

Now what?
