Mr. Capp runs his own disc golf store every Saturday. The first customer of the day came in and bought
1 driver and 2 putters for $43. The second customer came in and bought 3 drivers and 1 putter for $69.
How much money does one driver and one putter cost at Mr. C's store?

Answer:

a driver costs $19, while a putter costs $12

Step-by-step explanation:

driver = d

putter = p

1d + 2p = 43

3d + 1p = 69

d + 2p = 43. eq 1

3d + p = 69. eq 2

make d the subject of the equation

d = 43 - 2p. eq 3

substitute the value of d in eq 3 in eq 2

3(43 - 2p) + p = 69

129 - 6p + p = 69

collect like terms

129 - 69 = 6p - p

60 = 5p

p = 12

substitute the value of p in eq 3

d = 43 - 2(12)

d = 43 - 24

d = 19
