Question

For the following system of equations, write your own real world scenario that describes what is happening. Use complete sentences and correct grammar in your scenario.

Part 2:
Solve the system and explain what the results mean according to your scenario.

2x + y = 9
3x + 4y = 26

I already solved the equations (2, 5) I just need some help with the real world problem...

Answer 1

Nice. I have to think of this. You and your friend have some apples and some oranges. Together you have 9 fruits and your friend has 26. He has four times as many oranges as you.
And you have twice as many apples as oranges. And your friend has 3 times as many apples as your oranges.
