SOLUTION: A video game system and several games are sold for $540. The cost of the games is 3 times as much as the cost of the system. Find the cost of the system and the cost of the games.
Question 831719: A video game system and several games are sold for $540. The cost of the games is 3 times as much as the cost of the system. Find the cost of the system and the cost of the games. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
x = cost of games
y = cost of console
---
x + y = 540
x = 3y
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form:
---
x + y = 540
x - 3y = 0
---
copy and paste the above linear system in standard form into this matrix-method solver:
