Step-by-step explanation:
x- cost for an adult
y- cost for a child
2x + y = 3900
3x + 2y = 6300
Multiply 1st equation by 2
4x + 2y = 7800
( – )
3x + 2y = 6300
———————–
x + 0y = 1500
————————
x = 1500
2x + y = 3900
y = 3900 – 2x
sub x=1500
y = 3900 – 2 (1500)
y = 3900 – 3000
y = 900
cost for an adult = 1500
coat for a child = 900
