Solve each problem, using two linear equations in two variables and Cramer's rule. A Losing Situation. Morton Motor Express lost a full truckload $\left(2350 \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)$ of LCD TVs and Blu-ray players valued at 147,500 dollars . Each TV was worth 400 dollars and was in a box with a volume of $8 \mathrm{ft}^{3} .$ Each Blu-ray player was worth 225 dollars and was in a box with a volume of $2.5 \mathrm{ft}^{3} .$ How many TVs and Blu-ray players were in the shipment?

Solve each problem by using a system of three equations in three unknowns. Three cars. The town of Springfield purchased a Chevrolet, a Ford, and a Toyota for a total of 66,000 dollars. The Ford was 2,000 dollars more than the Chevrolet and the Toyota was 2,000 dollars more than the Ford. What was the price of each car?

Systems of Linear Equations in Three Variables
Solve each problem using two variables and a system of two equations. Solve the system by the method of your choice. Note that some of these problems lead to dependent or inconsistent systems. At the Book Exchange, all paperbacks sell for one price and all hardbacks sell for another price. Tanya got six paperbacks and three hardbacks for $\$ 8.25,$ while Gretta got four paperbacks and five hardbacks for $\$ 9.25 .$ What was Todd's bill for seven paperbacks and nine hardbacks?
