----------------
Quantity Equation: c + g = 49
Value Equation::: 11c+55g = 1903
--------------------------------------
Multiply thru the Quantity Equation by 11 to get:
11c + 11g = 11*49
---
Subtract that Eq. from the Value Eq and solve for "g":
44g = 1903-11*49
g = 31 (# of graphing calculators bought)
------------------
Since c+g = 49, c = 18 (# of sci. calculators bought)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x= SC
and y=GC
Then,
 , EQN 1
Also we know,
 , EQN 2
we get,  , EQN 3, subst. in EQN 1
 ----> 
 , number of GC, subst, in EQN 3
 , number of SC
Check via EQN 1:
Thank you,
