Help me with this graphing systems of linear equations problem if you can or want to.

Solve this system by graphing: Elizabeth is working in the concession stand during a basketball game. Each hot dog sells for $3 and a soda is $2. At the end of the first half, Elizabeth sold 23 items, and made $59. How many hot dogs did she sell?

Please show and explain all steps, thank you for your help.

The answer is 10 sodas and 13 hotdogs.

Having trouble with homework?

The solution is so simple you can do it in your head. Both items 23 times 2 = 46. 59 minus 46 = 13. Therefore 13 hotdogs and 10 sodas.
Use the Gauss-Jordan process of elimination
