Alena Valdez · Answer 1

Here's the equation:

4x+1+x = 121. Where x is equal to the amount of vanilla cones.

5x + 1 = 121

5x = 120

x = 24

There were 24 vanilla and 97 chocolate.

I just had this question for homework too!

c = 4v + 1

v + c = 121

Now use substitution.

v + 4v + 1 = 121

5v + 1 = 121

5v = 120

v = 24

The answer is 24.
