Can anybody help me with this exponent problem please?

If the cost for two DVD players and and three televisions is $1750, and the cost for four DVD players and one television is $1250, how much does each DVD player and television cost?

Start a new thread with new problem.

Begin by naming variables.

Price of DVD player = D

Price of TV = T

Now write the equations with given conditions.

Please share with us your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we know where to begin to help you.
 
I believe that I may have the solution to your problem. :D

First of all, you want to make two equations.

2dvd+3tv=$1750.............. I did this because your problem said "two DVD players and and three televisions is $1750"

Next I wrote this equation

4dvd+1tv=$1250.............. I did this because your problem said "four DVD players and one television is $1250"

Here I will repeat the equations.

2dvd+3tv=$1750
4dvd+1tv=$1250 ............. Do you see what I see. You can either use substitution or elimination on this problem. Whichever one you like best. If you can't do it just ask. Also, if you get an answer post it and I will check it. Good Luck. :D
