2x+ 3.50(170-x) = 490
2x+595-3.5x = 490

Answer 11

i have another question but ill make a new one so u can get a medal :)

Answer 12

j = juniors
s = seniors

j + s = 170 --> s = 170 - j
2j + 3.5(170 - j) = 490
2j + 595 - 3.5j = 490
2j - 3.5j = 490 - 595
- 1.5j = - 105
j = -105/-1.5
j = 70

I agree with godgavemeyou...:)
