2C+3T=$23
6C+5T=$43
C=chairs
T=Tables
The first step
in this equation is to determine one variable so that we can plug it in to find the other. HERE, we will find C first
This is done by multiplying the top equation by -3 so that the C’s cancel out. This gives us:
-6c-9t=-69
6c+5T=43 (do not touch this equation)
now we can cancel out the C variable and get the base equation of -4t=-26
telling us each table costs $6.5 after we divide by 4.
now we plug (6.5) into either equation to find out C
