Gabriella Willis · Answer 1

X = 18 inch wreath, y = 22 inch wreath

15x + 35y = 820

y = 2x + 4

15x + 35 (2x + 4) = 820

15x + 70x + 140 = 820

15x + 70x = 820 - 140

85x = 680

x = 680/85

x = 8 < = = 8 eighteen inch wreaths were sold

y = 2x + 4

y = 2 (8) + 4

y = 16 + 4

y = 20 < = = 20 twenty-two inch wreaths were sold
