The cost for Jan to set up one internet connection and one cable connection in her house is $75. The cost for her to set up one internet connection and two cable connections is $100. How much does one cable connection cost?

Answer provided by our tutors

let x represent one internet connection .

Let y represent one cable connection .

x+y=75

x+2y=100

Now make one equation x= or y= .

x=75-y

x+2y=100

Sub in .

75-y+2y=100

y=100-75

y=25

Now solve for x :D 

x=75-25

x=50 :)

check .

x+y=75

50+25=75 .

So therefore the internet connection costs $50 & the cable connection cost $25 .

So basically always make a lets statment & simply sub in .
