Hi,

The cost of 6 bedspreads and 8 pillows is $448.12. 

Three bedspreads and 10 pillows cost $323.00. 

Find the cost of each bedspread and each pillow.

Translate into two equations: 

 6x + 8y = 448.12

 3x + 10y = 323.00  ||Multiply 2nd Eq by -2 and add to 1st EQ to eliminate x

     -12y = -197.88

        y = $98.94
