Answer:

Cost of bolts = x = $0.3

Cost of washers = y = $0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Cost of bolts = x

Cost of washers = y

Luke buys 4 bolts and 6 washers for $2.20

Hence:

4x + 6y = 2.20....Equation 1

Holly spends $1.80 on 3 bolts and 5 washers at the same local hardware store.

3x + 5y = 1.80....Equation 2

Combining both Equations

4x + 6y = 2.20....Equation 1

3x + 5y = 1.80....Equation 2

Multiply Equation 1 by 3 and Equation 2 by 4 to eliminate x

12x + 18x = 6.6.....Equation 4

12x + 20x = 7.2.......Equation 5

Substract Equation 4 from 5

= 2x = 0.6

x = 0.6/2

x = $0.3

Solving for y

4x + 6y = 2.20....Equation 1

4 × 0.3 + 6y = 2.2

1.2 + 6y = 2.2

6y = 2.2 - 1.2

6y = 1.0

y = 1.0/6

y = $0.167

Cost of bolts = x = $0.3

Cost of washers = y = $0.167

Remark

There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.  

Solve

A

\dfrac{x + 1.6}{2} =\text{x + 0.1}                    Multiply by 2

x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1)                                         Remove the brackets

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2                                        

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2                                          Subtract x from both sides

1.6 = x + 0.2                                                  Subtract 0.2 from both sides  

1.6 - 0.2 = x                        

1.4 = x

Circle A

B

Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x = 1.4

Circle B

C

Remove the brackets.

4x + 6 = 2x - 6           Add 6 to both sides

4x + 12 = 2x               Subtract 4x from both sides.

12 = -2x                      Divide by - 2

12/-2 = x

x = - 6                         Don't circle C

D

I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.

3x = 4.2

x = 4.2/3

x = 1.4

Circle D
