Answer:

They made 4 forks and 6 spoons last April.

Explanation:

Let forks they made in april be x and spoons be y.

To make 1 fork we need $2

To make 1 spoon we need $1

They sell 1 fork for $6 and 1 spoon for the same amount So,

now,

Turning it into two equations :-

(x = number of forks and y = number of spoons)

2x + 1y = 14

6x + 6y = 60

Now,

2x + y = 14

y = 14 - 2x

Now,

6x + 6y = 60

or, 6x + 6(14-2x) = 60

or, 6x + 84 - 12x = 60

or, -6x = -24

so, x = 4

Now,

y = 14 - 2x

or, y = 14 - 2×4

or, y = 14-8

so, y = 6
