Question

It's a word problem and has more than one step:

a. The sales representative tells you they also have two floor plans available, but they only have 58 homes still for sale. Write an equation that illustrates the situation. Use x and y to denote floor plan one and floor plan two respectively.

x + y = 58

b. The sales representative tells you that floor plan one sells for $175,000 and floor plan two sells for $200,000. She also mentions that all the available houses combined are worth $10,200,000. Write an equation that illustrates this situation. Use the same variables you used in

Answer 1

x175,000 + y 200,000=10,200,000

Answer 2

I did that but the problem is solving it
I tried figuring out how many of each floor plan with no answer working right

Answer 3

you can solve for it

x175,000 + y 200,000=10,200,000
x + y = 58

system of equation , use substitution method

Answer 4

y=58-x
now every where there is y in first equation replace it with 58-x

Answer 5

but when you distribute, you come up with a negative x variable

Answer 6

ok i think i got it

Answer 7

I got x =56
y=2

Answer 8

yeah.. im checking it now

Answer 9

omg that works

Answer 10

thank you very much
