Answer: c = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
9c + -3c = 48
Combine like terms: 9c + -3c = 6c
6c = 48
Solving
6c = 48
Solving for variable 'c'.
Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '6'.
c = 8
Simplifying
c = 8
Answer:
A computer costs $225 and a printer $150.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c be the cost of a computer and p the cost of a printer, then:
3c + p = 825
4c + 2p = 1200
Multiply the first equation by -2:
-6c - 2p = -1650
Add this to the second equation:
-2c = -450
c = 225.
Now substitute c = 225 in the first equation:
3*225 + p = 825
p = 825 - 675 = 150.
R could equal any number, but it has to be higher than 4, because 3+4=7.
