4t+2c=200
2t+7c=400

I will solve for c in terms of t first
4t+2c=200
2c=200-4t
c=100-2t

Then I will substitute this in for c in the second equation to make it single variable
2t+7c=400
2t+7(100-2t)=400
2t+700-14t=400
300t=12
t=25 
Tables cost $25 each

Plug t back into one of the ORIGINAL equations to find the cost of chairs
4(25)+2c=200
100+2c=200
2c=100
c=50
Chairs cost $50 each

Hope this helps! :)

How can you use the backward problem-solving strategy to solve a two-step equation
neonofarm [45]
Let's use the equation 5x - 20 = 10 as an example for this.

To work backwards from this, you would add the same amount to each side.

You want to isolate the 5x so that you can solve for x.

To do that, you would add 20.

But again, you must add and subtract the same amount to both sides.

So it would look a bit like this:

5x - 20 + 20 = 10 + 20

That would simplify to 5x = 30, or in other words, x = 6.

Basically, you isolate the multiple of the variable then divide the answer to the equation from that multiple.

In the example, 5 is the multiple and after isolating it, the answer was 30.

30 ÷ 5 = 6

x = 6

Hope this helps :)
