Question 302091
good so far...


"The price of the tent is 9 times the cost of a camp stool" ___ x = 9z


"The cost of a sleeping bag is $16 more than the cost of a camp stool" ___ y = z + 16


substituting ___ 9z + 5(z + 16) + 4z = 242 ___ 9z + 5z + 80 + 4z = 242


18z = 162 ___ z = 9


substituting ___ y = 9 + 16 = 25


substituting ___ x = 9(9) = 81
