Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the cheese be x

And strawberry be y

So

6x+6y=96-------1

x+4y=52----------2

Solving 1 and 2 simultaneously

Let us multiply equation 2 by 6 we have

6x+6y=96

6x+24y=312

-0-18y=-216

18y=216

y=216/18

y=12

Put y=12 in equation 2

x+4*2=52----------2

x+8=52

x=52-8

x=44

cheese =44

strawberry =12
