    B+1.20=p

    2.25b+1.75p=15.22

    sub b+1.20 for p

    2.25b+1.75 (b+1.20) = 15.22

    2.25b+1.75b+2.1=15.22

    minus 2.1 from both sides

    4b=13.12

    divide both sides by 4

    b=3.28

    sub back

    b+1.20=p

    3.28+1.20=p

    4.48=p

    2.25*3.28=7.38

    1.75*4.48=7.84
