Answer:

The system of equations is equal to

\(4t+7b=28\)

\(5t+2b=28.50\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t------> the cost of one pound of tomatoes

b-----> the cost of one pound of broccoli

we know that

\(4t+7b=28\) -----> equation A

\(5t+2b=28.50\) -----> equation B

using a graphing tool

The solution of the system of equations is equal to the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is \((5.32,0.96)\)

see the attached figure

therefore

\(t=\$5.32\)----> the cost of one pound of tomatoes

\(b=\$0.96\) ----> the cost of one pound of broccoli
