Question 300656
write a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns for the problem. 
At Gwen's garage sale all books were one price, and all magazines were another price. 
----------------------
Harriet bought 4 books and 3 magazines for $1.45, 
June bought 2 books and 5 magazines for $1.25. 
----------------------
What was the price of a book and what was the price of a magazine?

Equations:
4b + 3m = 145 cents
2b + 5m = 125 cents
