The total number of computers for Italy and Russia is 56,280 million. If Italy has 2340 million more computers than Russia, find the number of computers for each country.
----
Equations:
I + R = 56,280 mil
I - R = 2340 mil
----
Add and solve for "I":
2*I = 58,620
---
I = 29310 million (# Italy has)
---
R = 56280-29310 = 26970 million (# Russia has)
