You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of etchings sold at $30
y = number of etchings sold at $55
---
x + y = 10
30x + 55y = 400
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 10
30x + 55y = 400
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
