REALLY URGENT, PLEASE HELP

Aaron and Kevin are on the schools golf team. Aaron buys 14 cheap golf balls and 6 expensive ones for $47.00. Kevin buys 21 cheap and 10 expensive golf balls for $72.50. What are the prices for the different kinds of golf balls?

This can be solved by using simultaneous equations

If a cheap ball is X and an expensive one is y,

14x+6y=47

21x+10 y=72.5

Now all you have to do is solve for X and y.

Where X is the price of a cheap ball and y is the price of an expensive ball ⚽
