Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
B + C = 122
B = C + 24
Substitute the known value of B from the second equation into the first.
C + 24 + C = 122
2C + 24 = 122
Subtract 24 from each side
2C = 98
Divide each side by 2
C = 49
Carlos sold 49 computers and Briana sold 73 computers.
