Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
total price was reduced by $ 7
let x = the total price........ x - 7
he bought 10.....and it cost him $ 130
10(x - 7) = 130
10x - 70 = 130
10x = 130 + 70
10x = 200
x = 200/10
x = 20 <====== original price
(-2,-5)
The first goal with equations like these is to get one of the variables to go away. You can do that by adding/subtracting one equation from the other. Then you solve for the one variable. Then you plug that answer into one of the original equations and solve.
Step-by-step explanation:

Well it boils down to 18 - (4 + 9) which is 18 - 13 or 5. So the answer is 5 in this equation.
