Question 818182: Could someone please help me with this problem. I'm so confused!
directions: Write a system of equations in two variables to solve each problem.
according to the national vital statistics reports, in 2007, the number of Americans who died from motor vehicle accidents was about twice the number who died from falls. If the total number of deaths from these two causes was approximately 66,000, how many Americans died from each cause in 2007?

66000 = m + f
m = 2f
---
66000 = m + f
66000 = 2f + f
3f = 66000
---
f = 22000
m = 44000
