Answer 1

truck = 6t

part = stereo + television + computer

computer = televison - 2t

stereo = television * 2

truck + parts = 28t

part = 28t - 6t = 22t

part = computer + television + stereo

part = television - 2t + televison + television*2

part = 4*television - 2t

22t = 4*television - 2t

4*television = 24t

television = 6t

computer = 6t -2t = 4t

stereo = 6t *2 = 12t

television = 6t

computer =4t

stereo = 12t
