A sporting goods store sells sets of golf clubs with steel shafts for $359. Sets of golf clubs with graphite shafts cost $559. Last month the store sold 14 sets of golf clubs for $6,826. How many sets of each type of golf club were sold? Set up and solve a system of equations to find the answer.
What method is this?
Does the equation go like this? x+y=14 359x+559y=6826
@dhirensharma
yup just a sec....
tht's right
go on solve them wat did u get?
@dhirensharma what method is it?
to solve system of equation where there are two variables you can either use substitution or elimination
@dhirensharma oh ok i'll get to solving it
yup go on
does -4467y=6467 go well?!
because i'm getting a fraction when i divide
no thats not right..
359x+559y=6826 359(14-y)+559y=6826 359-5026y+559y=6826 -5026y+559Y=6826-359 -4467y=6467
wrong multiplication
omg again
359(14-y)+559y=6826 359(14-y)+559y=6826
u got -5026y+559Y=6826-359
try doing multiplication by using distributive property 359*14-359y+559y=6826
so it'd be 4667?
4667y
nope
5026-359y+559y=6826
5026+200y=6826
200y=1800 y=9
@dhirensharma oh okay thanks!!
@briana.img sorry i gotta rush but stay in touch if u ever need any help and you can message me a picture of your questions and then i can solve them on a seprate piece of paper and i will take a picture of it and send it to you and then you can look at it whenever you feel like you are having a problem......
@dhirensharma thank you so much!! you helped me a lot with this exam that i thought i could never do!!
i will try solve all of them today but just in case i don't i will make sure i send the answers tommorow fr sure bt don't frget to send me the questions or it's picture
and i will make a video explaining all concepts related o this and i will surely send it to you tommorow fr sure and don't worry you are pretty good at this stuff !!!! ;)
@dhirensharma good luck on whatever you're doing!!
thanks and don't frget to send me a photo of those questions and hope to see ya around this forum.....byby
