      H2 = 1404
      H = 37.47
      202 = X2 + 49
      400 - 49 = X2   
      X = 18.73

  8. Gary bought 5 tins of plums and 3 tins of peaches from a supermarket for Ksh.75, while Mike bought 3 tins of plums and 5 tins of peaches for Ksh.77
    1. Set up the simultaneous equations which represent the given information (2 marks)
      let plums be x and peaches be y
      5x + 3y = 75
      3x + 5y = ??
    2. Write down the matrix equation ( 2 marks)
      q24 jygydf
    3. Using the matrix method, find the cost of
      1. 4 tins of plums ( 5 marks)

      2. 2 tins of peaches ( 2 marks)
        2 tins of peaches
        10 × 2 = 20
        IA = A
