A shoe store makes $2880 during a one day sale. Men's shoes cost $24 per pair and womens shoes cost $18 per pair. Let m equal the number of pairs of mens shoes and w equal the number of pairs of womens shoes. The equation 24m+18w=2880 describes the store's income for the sale.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a.If the store sold 30 pairs of men shoes during the sale,how many pairs of womens shoes were sold?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Just substitute 30 for m in the given equation and find w:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "24(30) + 18w = 2880
\n" ); document.write( "720 + 18w = 2880
\n" ); document.write( "18w = 2880 - 720
\n" ); document.write( "18w = 2160
\n" ); document.write( "w = \"2160%2F18\"
\n" ); document.write( "w = 120 prs of women's shoe were sold
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the original equation:
\n" ); document.write( "24(30) + 18(120) =
\n" ); document.write( "720 + 2160 = 2880
\n" ); document.write( "
