At a sale on winter clothing, cody bought two pairs of gloves and four hats for $43.00. tori bought two pairs of gloves and two hats for $30.00. find the prices of gloves and hats. gloves-x
hats-y

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 43

2x + 2y = 30multiply by -1

2x + 4y = 43

-2x - 2y = -30 (result of multiplying by -1)

add

2y = 13

y = 13/2

y = 6.50 <=== hats cost

2x + 2y = 30

2x + 2(6.50) = 30

2x + 13 = 30

2x = 30 - 13

2x = 17

x = 17/2

x = 8.50 <=== gloves cost

3,000,540

step-by-step explanation:

combine all like terms then its just a 2 step equation
