Joseph Franco · Answer 1

Thy bought 150 Sweatshirts (x) and 250 tshirts (y)

Step-by-step explanation:

35x + 25y = 11500

x + y = 400

-25 (x + y = 400) Multiply by - 25 to get the y's to disappear when you add the two equations together

-25x - 25y = 10000

35x + 25y = 11500

10x = 1500

x = 150

Plug 150 in either equation for x to find y

150 + y = 400

y = 250
