Each month for a year, purchase amounts will vary. It can be either $4 or $6
How can I set up a systems of equations to figure out the 2nd equation's minimum dollar value?
m+s=12
6m+4s=?
Thanks in advance.
Why minimum? You don't have the actual value?
Manually I figured the value could be $60. I want to know how I could use algebra to figure it out though.
Sorry for the confusion. It is a real life scenario. I figured out manually the $60 amount.
I wanted to know if it was possible to arrive at the $60 amount if I didn't know the number beforehand.
Do you suggest another method to get the $60 answer?
