Question

Help! (picture below) I keep getting this wrong

Answer 1

equipment operators = x
general laborers = y
equipment operators = 128x
general laborers = 91y
total $ = 3561
so
128x + 91y = 3561 ($)
x + y = 31

Answer 2

\[\huge\rm 128x + 91 y = 3561\]
\[\huge\rm x + y =31\]
do you know how to solve this ??
