The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.
<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>
let
- cost of redwood = x
- cost of pine = y
50x + 70y = 280
100x + 60y = 440
Multiply (1) by 2
100x + 140y = 560
100x + 60y = 440
subtract to eliminate x
80y = 120
y = 120/80
y = $1.5
substitute y = 1.5 into (1)
50x + 70y = 280
50x + 70(1.5) = 280
50x + 105 = 280
50x = 280 - 105
50x = 175
x = 175 / 50
x = $3.5

Go over to the left 3 times then up 6
Answer:
(1/2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, determine y in first equation: 2x+y=5 or y=5-2x
replace value of y determined in first equation (5-2x) into 2nd equation
4x-3(5-2x)=-10
4x-15+6x=10
10x=5
x=1/2
put value of x into either equation to solve for y so
2(1/2)+y=5
1+y=5
y=4
answer: x=1/2, y=4
check answer by substituting x and y into either equation:
4x-3y=-10
4(1/2)-3(4)=-10
2-12=-10
-10=-10
or
2x+y=5
2(1/2)+4=5
1+4=5
5=5
