1. Ist sentence
The local bike shop sells a bike and accessories package for $376.
Let the cost of one bike be $b
Let the cost of the accessories be $a
b + a = 376 .........…...... eqn(1)
2. Second sentence.
If the bike is worth 7 times more than the accessories.
Equation;
b = 7a
3. Substitute b into eqn 1
7a + a = 376
8a = 376
a = 376/8
a= 47
b= 7a = 7× 47 = 329
Therefore The bike cost $ 329
