Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make tables = x
\n" ); document.write( "and chairs = y
\n" ); document.write( "Make two equations:
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2y = 1900.....(1)
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 4y = 1800.....(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation (1) by 2
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 4y = 3800.....(1)
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 4y = 1800
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract Equation (2) from (1)
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 2000
\n" ); document.write( "x = 500
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 500 into
\n" ); document.write( "Equation (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 4y = 1800
\n" ); document.write( "2(500) + 4y = 1800
\n" ); document.write( "1000 + 4y = 1800
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 1800 - 1000
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 800
\n" ); document.write( "y = 200
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "A Table costs Rs 500
\n" ); document.write( "A chair costs Rs 200
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:-)
\n" ); document.write( "
