Cheerleaders sold foam fingers for five dollars each and wristbands for four dollars each. They sold forty more wristbands than foam fingers. They made $965 in total sales. Help me see the linear equations for this problem
***
let x=number of foam fingers sold
x+40=number of wristbands sold
..
5x+4(x+40)=965
