Solve simultaneously:

<span>15x-8y=52 and
6x+14y=38
</span>
Let's solve this system thru elimination by addition/subtraction:

Let's get rid of the x terms.
To do this, mult. the first eqn. by -6 and the second by 15.  (This is not the only way in which we can do this!!)  We get  

-90x + 48y = -312
90x   +210y = 570
--------------------------
Add all 3 columns together.  We end up with:

258y = 258, so y = 1.  You can find x by subst. 1 for y in either of the given equations.

If you'd like more help, please be specific about what you want.

Answer:

9x + 5y = 29 ........... (1) and

3x + y = 7 ........... (2)

Each game of ping pong requires 1 number of token and each game of pinball requires 4 number of tokens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, each game of ping pong requires x number of tokens and each game of pinball requires y number of tokens.

So, from the given conditions we can write

9x + 5y = 29 ........... (1) and

3x + y = 7 ........... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

9x + 5(7 - 3x) = 29

⇒ 35 - 6x = 29

⇒ 6x = 6

⇒ x = 1 token.

Now, putting x = 1 in equation (2) we get,

3 + y = 7

⇒ y = 4 tokens.

So, each game of ping pong requires 1 number of token and each game of pinball requires 4 number of tokens. (Answer)
