Question

(translate to a system of equations and solve)together, a skatebored and a bicycle cost $199.00. the skateboard costs $51.00 less than the bicycle. how much does each cost

Answer 1

b = bicycle, s = skateboard

b + s = 199 total cost

b - s = 51 difference in price

adding the 2 equations together will eliminate s

so you would then need to solve for b

When you get b substitute it into either equation to find s
