1st : key = 1 doughnut + 6chocolate, 2nd :3 doughnut + key = 10 chocolate, replace the key with 1 doughnut and 6 chocolate in the 2nd given, so 3 doughnut + ( 1doughnut + 6 chcolate ) = 10 chocolate, so 4 doughnut + 6 chocolate = 10chocolate, and remove 6 chocolate from each side, so 4 doughnut = 4 chocolate. so 1 dough nut is equal to 1 chocolate. look at the 1st give, key = 1doughnut + 6 chocolate. so replace the 1 dough nut to 1 chocolate, and the answer will be, key is equal to 7 chocolate

D for donut B for Bar K for key

D+6B= 1 K 1K+3D=10B

multiply equation 1 by 3 gives 3D+18B=3K rearranging equation 2 gives 3D-10B=-1K 28B=4K therfore 28/4=7
