Question 1173984
<br>
x televisions and y video recorders<br>
The value of the stock at the beginning of the week, at $360 for each television and $270 for each video recorder, was $55,530:<br>
{{{360x+270y = 55530}}}<br>
The sales total for the week, consisting of 3/4 of the televisions and 1/3 of the video recorders, was $32,310:<br>
{{{360(3/4)x+270(1/3)y = 32310}}}
{{{270x+90y = 32310}}}<br>
Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation to eliminate y and solve for x.  Then use that x value in either original equation to find y.<br>
