Answer:

Part 1) The system is solved using elimination

The cost  per can of grape juice is [tex]\$1.19[/tex] and the cost per can of apple juice is [tex]\$1.49[/tex]

Part 2) The system is solved using substitution

The cost  per can of grape juice is [tex]\$1.19[/tex] and the cost per can of apple juice is [tex]\$1.49[/tex]

Part 3) The system is solved by graphing

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Solve the system by elimination

Let

x----> the cost per can of grape juice

y----> the cost per can of apple juice

we know that

[tex]6x+4y=13.10[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]4x+6y=13.10+0.60[/tex]

[tex]4x+6y=13.70[/tex]  -----> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Multiply the equation A by -6 both sides

[tex]-36x-24y=-78.6[/tex] -------> equation C

Multiply the equation B by 4 both sides

[tex]16x+24y=54.8[/tex] -------> equation D

Adds equation C and equation D

[tex]-36x-24y=-78.6\\16x+24y=54.8\\----------\\-36x+16x=-78.6+54.5\\-20x=-23.8\\x=1.19[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in the equation A

[tex]6(1.19)+4y=13.10[/tex]

[tex]4y=5.96[/tex]

[tex]y=1.49[/tex]

therefore

The cost  per can of grape juice is [tex]\$1.19[/tex]

The cost per can of apple juice is [tex]\$1.49[/tex]

Part 2) Solve the system by substitution

Let

x----> the cost per can of grape juice

y----> the cost per can of apple juice

we know that

[tex]6x+4y=13.10[/tex]    

[tex]4y=-6x+13.10[/tex]

[tex]y=-1.5x+3.275[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]4x+6y=13.10+0.60[/tex]

[tex]4x+6y=13.70[/tex]  

[tex]6y=-4x+13.70[/tex]

[tex]y=-(4/6)x+13.70/6[/tex]

[tex]y=--0.67x+2.28[/tex] -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

[tex]-0.67x+2.28=-1.5x+3.275[/tex]

[tex]1.5x-0.67x=3.275-2.28[/tex]

[tex]0.83x=0.995[/tex]

[tex]x=1.19[/tex]

Find the value of y

Substitute the value of x in the equation A

[tex]y=-1.5(1.19)+3.275=1.49[/tex]

therefore

The cost  per can of grape juice is [tex]\$1.19[/tex]

The cost per can of apple juice is [tex]\$1.49[/tex]

Part 3) Solve the system by graphing

we have

[tex]y=-1.5x+3.275[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]y=-(4/6)x+13.70/6[/tex] -----> equation B

Remember that

The solution of the system of equations is equal to the intersection point both lines

The solution is the point [tex](1.19,1.49)[/tex]

see the attached figure

therefore

The cost  per can of grape juice is [tex]\$1.19[/tex]

The cost per can of apple juice is [tex]\$1.49[/tex]
