I know how to do it once I have the equation.
The first equation I had was;
x+y=30
.15x+.40y=30(33 1/3) and then you use combination method but when I tried it I didn't get the right answer?
If you coudl just help me get the equation that would be great thanks so much!
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Note that in the problem is a percent
(1)
