Question 138595: 1.Suppose you are in the market for a new home and are interested in a new housing community under construction in a different city.
a)The sales representative informs you that there are two floor plans still available, and that there are a total of 56 houses available. Use x to represent floor plan #1 and y to represent floor plan #2. Write an equation that illustrates the situation.
Would this be x= 1, y= 2 ? Is this right or should the number 56 be divided by x and y also? HELP
