Joaquin Jennings · Answer 1

a = £4.245, c = £2.455

Step-by-step explanation:

a + c = 6.70

a = c + 1.79

replace a in the first equation with c + 1.79

c + 1.79 + c = 6.70

simplify: 2c + 1.79 = 6.70

subtract 1.79 from each side: 2c = 4.91

divide each side by 2: c = 2.455

now replace c in the second equation with 2.455

a = 2.455 + 1.79

add: a = 4.245
