    2x+4y=183 ... (1)

    3x+6y=489 ... (2)

    Multiply (1) by 3

    6x+12y=549 ... (3)

    fishing rod = $78, fishing reel=$7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A fishing rod: x

    A fishing reel: y

    2x+4y=184

    6x+3y=489

    Simplify.

    x+2y=92

    2x+y=163

    Add the equations.

    3x+3y=255

    Multiply by 2/3.

    2x+2y=170

    subtract.

    x=78

    y=7
