Question

A shipment containing 5 recorders and 4 harmonicas cost $62. A second shipment containing 10 recorders and 3 harmonicas cost $84. what is the cost of a recorder? And, what is the cost of a harmonica?

I need help making a system of equations for this problem, please help

Answer 1

For the first shipment, 5r+4h=62.
For the second shipment, 10r+3h=84.
pick either equation and solve for r, them plug this back into the other equation and solve for h, you should then be able to find the price per harmonica and per recorder. Comment if you need more help.
