Question 449756: You are in the market for a new home and are interested in a new housing community. The sales representative informs you that there are 56 houses for sale with two floor plans still available. Use x to represent floor plan one and y to represent floor plan two. Write and equation that illustrates the situation.
The sales representative later indicates that there are three times as many homes available with the second floor plan than the first. Write an equation that illustrates this situation.
Use the equations from parts a and b of this exercise as a system of equations. Use substitution to determine how many of each type of floor plan is available. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
