Write and equation for each of Williams sales, let x= hockey sticks and y= hockey bags. use simultaneous equations to find the cost of each hockey stick and bag Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x+3y=473.98
x+y=177.99 or x=177.99-y
2*(177.99-y)+3y=473.98
355.98-2y+3y=473.98
y=473.98-355.98
y=118.00 cost of each bag.
x=177.99-118.00
x=59.99
Proof:
2*59.99+3*118.00=473.98
119.98+354.00=473.98
473.98=473.98
