Karins mom runs a dairy farm. Last year Betty the cow gave 375 gallons less than twice the amount from Bessie the cow. Together, Betty and Bessie produced 1464 gallons of milk. How many gallons each cow give?

X = bessie and y = betty

x + y = 1464

y = 2x - 375

x + 2x - 375 = 1464

3x - 375 = 1464

3x = 1464 + 375

3x = 1839

x = 1839/3

x = 613 < = = Bessie gave 613 gallons

y = 2x - 375

y = 2 (613) - 375

y = 1226 - 375

y = 851 < = = Betty gave 851 gallons
