Help? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So whht hve u done so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let x be the number of bottles of water and y be the number of sandwiches. x+y=390 2x+4y=1260 solve for x and y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess 870 sandwiches

OpenStudy (winsteria):

Is that right or?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

It's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i ment 900 sandwiches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1260-360=900

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+4y=1260 divide by 2 x+2y=630 x+y=390 subtract x+2y-x-y=630-390 y=240 x+240=390 x=390-240=150
