A customer walks into an electronics store and buys four MP3 players and six sets of headphones, paying $740. A second customer buys five MP3 players and four sets of headphones, and pays $785. How much does an MP3 player cost? How much does a set of headphones cost?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "4M + 6H = 740
\n" ); document.write( "5M + 4H = 785
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use any method you know to solve this
\n" ); document.write( "system of equations to get:
\n" ); document.write( "M = $125 (price of an MP3)
\n" ); document.write( "H = $40 (price of headphones)
