The value of x - coordinate is 14.4

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the x -coordinate of the system

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

2x + 3y = 144 -------- eqn 1

y - x = 24 --------- eqn 2

Solve the above system of equations to find the x - coordinate

From eqn 2,

y = 24 + x ------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1

2x + 3(24 + x) = 144

2x + 72 + 3x = 144

Add the like terms

5x + 72 = 144

5x = 144 - 72

5x = 72

Divide 72 by 5

x = 14.4

Thus the x - coordinate of the system is 14.4

A garden table and a bench cost $781 combined. The garden table costs $69 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$425

Step-by-step explanation:

x = bench

x - 69 = garden table

x + (x - 69)=781

x + x - 69 =781

2x - 69 = 781

2x -69 +69 = 781 + 69

2x = 850

2x/2 = 850/2

x = 425

Bench = 425
