Answer 1

Hi Quintin,

A television and DVD player cost a total of $1077

. The cost of the television is two times the cost of the DVD player. Find the cost of each item.

T + D = 1077

T = 2D because you could buy two DVD players for the cost of one TV.

Now substitute 2D in place of T in the first equation. You should be able to take it from there.

Good Luck
