Answer:
$237.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c, t, l represent the costs of the chair, table, and lamp, respectively. A system of equations can be written based on the problem statement:
- c + t + l = 562
- c + 0t -4l = 0
- c -t +0l = 23
These can be put into the form of an augmented matrix (see first attachment), and solved by any number of calculators or web sites (see second attachment). Note that the t variable is called x2 in this solution.
The solution is (c, t, l) = (260, 237, 65).
The cost of a table is $237.
