    5x + 3y = 8.50

    3x + 2y = 5.25

    Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation
