    The system of equations is:

    x + y = 54

    2*x + 3*y = 120

    And the solution is x = 42 y = 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x number of slices and

    y number of calzones

    On Monday they collected 120 $

    Then 2*x + 3 * y = 120

    And the total of 54 slices and calzones were sold, then

    x + y = 54

    The system is:

    x + y = 54

    2*x + 3*y = 120

    Solving for x and y

    y = 54 - x

    2*x + 3 * (54 - x) = 120

    2*x + 162 - 3*x = 120 ⇒ - x = - 42

    x = 42

    And

    y = 54 - 42 ⇒ y = 12
