    Simplify the question so it uses x's and y's or any two letters instead of egg/juice (not necessary)

    egg = x

    juice = y

    x + 2y = 2.30

    2x + y = 3.40

    Make x the subject

    x = 2.30 - 2y

    Add pervious step to 2x + y = 3.40 then solve for y

    2 (2.30 - 2y) + y = 3.40

    4.60 - 4y + y = 3.40

    4.60 - 3y = 3.40

    -3y = - 1.20

    3y = 1.20

    y = 0.40

    Now solve for x

    x + 2y = 2.30

    x + 2 (0.40) = 2.30

    x + 0.80 = 2.30

    x = 1.50

    One egg costs $1.50

    One juice costs $0.40

    Therefore, one egg plus one juice costs $1.90
