Question 876598: A rancher bought 3 cows and 6 horses for $8,700. A couple of months
later he bought 6 cows and 2 horses for $7,900. If the price of
each horse and each cow did not change, what is the price of each
cow?
Hi,
3c + 6h = $8700 6c + 2h = $7900 Times -3 and the ADD Equations
-15c = -15,000
c = $1,000, price of each cow
CHECKING our answer***
$6000 + 2($950) = $7900
