What’s the 9 for?
But why? Where does the 9 come from how is that calculated?
Consider X as Table and Y as a Chair
then, X = 3Y (The table cost 3 times as much as a chair)

X + 6Y = 1251 (The table and 6 Chair price)
3Y + 6Y = 1251
9Y = 1251
Y= 1251/9 = 139

So Table = 3 * 139 = $417
What is 9 for?????/
How did you get that answer
