Question 716381: I am having problem working this out. How do i go by figuring out the equation:
Timmy enjoys playing old-fashioned video games. He found 3 game systems on eBay and wants to purchase a Nintendo game system, an Atari game system, and a Sega arcade game system. The Sega system costs $600 more than the sum of the Atari and the Nintendo systems. All together, the three game systems cost $11,000. The Atari system costs $1100 less than the Nintendo. Determine how much Timmy paid for each game system.

1 S=N+A+600
2 N+S+A=11000
3 A=N-1100

A=2050
N=3150
S=5800
