Answer:

Chair $280

Loveseat $560

Couch $ 1,160

Step-by-step explanation:

chair = x

loveseat=2x

couch = 2x + 600

x +2x + 2x +600 = 2000

5x + 600 =2000 subtract 600 from both sides

5x =1400 divide by 5

x = $280

Chair is the value of x =$280

Loveseat is twice the value of x = 2 x $280 =$560

Couch is twice the value of x plus $600 = $560 + $600

The cost of a chair, the cost of a loveseat, and the cost of a couch are $280, $560, and $1,160 respectively.

What is the linear system?

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Given

Emily purchased a couch, loveseat, in the chair for $2000.

The Loveseat cost twice as much as the chair, and the couch cost $600 more than the love seat.

Let

The cost of the chair is x, then the loveseat is 2x and the cost of the couch is 2x + 600.

Then

The sum of the cost of the chair, loveseat, and couch is $2000.

[tex]x + 2x + 2x + 600 = 2000\\[/tex]

On simplifying, we have

x = 280

Then

The cost of the chair = x = $280.

The loveseat = 2x = 2(280) = $560

The cost of the couch = 2x + 600 = 2(280) + 600 = $1,160

Thus, the cost of the chair, loveseat, and couch is $280, $560, and $1,160 respectively.
