x + y = 14 8x + 3y = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

The variables are defined, so we only need to express the given relations. The total of the two quantities is 14.

x + y = 14

The sum of costs is $72. Totts are $8 each, so x of them will cost 8x. Elentines are $3 each, so y of them will cost 3y.

8x + 3y = 72
