Q1 - Understanding simultaneous equations
Solve these simultaneous equations.
4 pillows and 5 quilts cost $57
9 pillows and 5 quilts cost $72
Find the cost of one of each.
4p + 59 = 57
9p + 59 = 72
P =
and q =
3 apple pies and 5 banoffee cost $28
3 apple pies and 7 banoffee cost $38
Find the cost of one of each.
3a + 5b = 28
3a + 2b = 38
a =
C
and b =
