Algebra.Com's Answer #388764 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! c= number of chocolate cones sold \n" ); document.write( "v= number of vanilla cones sold \n" ); document.write( "\"The number of chocolate cones sold was 1 more than 4 times the number of vanilla cones sold\" means that c was 1 more than \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If only chocolate and vanilla cones are sold, and the total sold was 121, it means that \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The two equations form the system of equations \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "That system asks to be solved by substitution, \n" ); document.write( "According to the first equation, the expression \n" ); document.write( "so you substitute that expression for c in the second equation and get \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Then you substitute that value into \n" ); document.write( " |
