    C + A = 173

    6.50 * C + 9.80*A = 1368.70

    Solves the first equation for C and multiplies the second equation by 10 to clear the decimals:

    C = 173 - A

    65C + 98A = 13687

    65 (173 - A) + 98A = 13687

    11245 - 65A + 98A = 13687

    33A + 11245 = 13687

    33A = 13687 - 11245

    33A = 2442

    A = 74

    C = 99
