a.If the store sold 30 pairs of men shoes during the sale,how many pairs of womens shoes were sold?
:
Just substitute 30 for m in the given equation and find w:
:
24(30) + 18w = 2880
720 + 18w = 2880
18w = 2880 - 720
18w = 2160
w =
w = 120 prs of women's shoe were sold

Check solution in the original equation:
24(30) + 18(120) =
720 + 2160 = 2880
