Question

Answer 1

Answer:

• bath: $28
• hand: $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, your system of equations is supposed to be ...

• 4b -3h = 64
• 5b -6h = 44

We can multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation:

  2(4b -3h) -(5b -6h) = 2(64) -(44)

  3b = 84

  b = 28

Using the first equation, we can find the price of a hand towel:

  4b -64 = 3h

  h = (4/3)(b -16) . . . . . divide by 3 and factor out 4

  h = (4/3)(28 -16) = 16

Bath towels cost $28 each, and hand towels cost $16 each.
