To use the addition method, one of the variables in both equations must have opposite coefficients.

Since the coefficient of p in the second equation is 44, the coefficient of p in the first equation must be −44 to use the addition method.

Multiplying both sides of c+p=30 by −44 gives 44c44p=1320.

Add this to the second equation to eliminate pp. Then solve for c: 44c44p=1320
47c+44p=1350
3c=30
c=10
Substitute c=10 into c+p=30 and solve for p:
c+p=30
10+p=30
p=20
The solution of the system is then (c,p)=(10,20)
