Write down the facts:
2h+3s = 4.21
3h+2s = 5.24
Now you can solve for h and s, and calculate h+s. Nope, too much work.
Instead, just add the two equations, and you see that
5h+5s = 9.45
So, divide by 5 to get
h+s = 1.89
2h+3s = 4.21
3h+2s = 5.24
Now you can solve for h and s, and calculate h+s. Nope, too much work.
