Question 933815: A company manufactures both mountain bikes and trail bikes. The cost of materials for a mountain bike is $80, and the cost of materials for a trail bike is $40. The cost of labor to manufacture a mountain bike is $70, and the cost of labor to manufacture a trail bike is $40. During a week in which the company has budgeted $3,000 for materials and $2,750 for labor, how many mountain bikes does the company plan to manufacture?

x, quantity of mountain bikes
y, quantity of trail bikes

Account for materials: 80x+40y=3000
Account for labor: 70x+40y=2750
Those are two linear equations in two unknown variables.
Solve the system.
