Aubree Montes · Answer 1

E + w = 50 ... w = 50 - e

25e + 20w = 1090

25e + 20 (50 - e) = 1090

25e + 1000 - 20e = 1090

25e - 20e = 1090 - 1000

5e = 90

e = 90/5

e = 18 < = = = the east got 18

w = 50 - e

w = 50 - 18

w = 32 < = = = the west got 32

Brock Bell · Answer 2

32 were shipped to the western warehouse and 18 shipped to the Eastern warehouse. 25x18=450 20x32=640

(400+600=1000) + (50+40=90)

1000+90=1090
