Answer: the price of 1 yard of chicken wire is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one yard of landscaping fabric.
Let y represent the cost of one yard of chicken wire.
Charlotte pays $24 for 3 yards of landscaping fabric and 6 yards of chicken wire. This means that
3x + 6y = 24 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Kami pays $30 for 6 yards of landscaping fabric and 3 yards of chicken wire. This means that
6x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
18x + 36y = 144
18x + 9y = 90
Subtracting
27y = 54
y = 54/27 = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
3x + 6×2 = 24
3x = 24 - 12 = 12
x = 12/3 = 4
4x - 3y + 20 = 0....4x - 3y = -21
4x - 3y = -21.....multiply by -2
5x - 6y = -25
----------------
-8x + 6y = 42 (result of multiplying by -2)
5x - 6y = -25
---------------add
-3x = 17
x = -17/3
this system of equations has 1 solution
