Answer:
- a = $8
- s = $5
Step-by-step explanation:
When the coefficients don't lend themselves to solution by substitution or elimination, then Cramer's Rule can be useful. It tells you the solutions to
- ax +by = c
- dx +ey = f
are ...
- ∆ = bd -ea
- x = (bf -ec)/∆
- y = (cd -fa)/∆
Using that rule here, we find ...
∆ = 5·3 -6·2 = 3
a = (5·54 -6·41)/3 = 5·18 -2·41 = 90 -82 = 8
s = (41·3 -54·2)/3 = 41 -18·2 = 5
This math can be performed in your head, which is the intent of formulating the rule in this way.

Similarly, if you expect the solutions to be small integers (as here), then graphing is another viable solution method.

We're sad to see than only 16 tickets were sold to the two performances by the symphonic band.
