Question

Which system of linear equations could be used to determine the price of each book

Answer 1

Let the price of the maths book be m and price of the novel book be n

Given that,

Total cost of the books is $54

The price of math book is $8 more than 3 times the price of novel book.

we get,

The system of equation as,

`\begin{gathered} m+n=54 \\ m=8+3n \end{gathered}`

Hence the system of equation to determine the price of the maths and novel book is,

`\begin{gathered} m+n=54 \\ m=8+3n \end{gathered}`
