c+v=121 and c=1+4v.
Linear system and you want a solution for c.

v=121-c. Substitute and solve for c.
c=1-4(121-c)
c=1-4*121-(-4c)
c=1-484+4c
c-4c=1-484
-3c=-483
c=483/3
c=161

Only chocolate and vanilla ice cream cones are sold at an ice cream store. In one day, the number of chocolate cones sold was 1 more than 4 times the number of vanilla cones sold. A total of 121 cones were sold that day. Let c=the number of chocolate cones sold. Let v= the number of vanilla cones sold. Write equations to determine the number of chocolate cones sold that day. Use the equations to determine the number of chocolate cones sodl that day.

c + v = 121 ------ v = 121 - c ----- eq (i)
c = 4v + 1 ------- eq (ii)
Substituting 121 - c for v in eq (ii) should result in chocolate cones being sold.
You can do the check!!
