let x="packages of gift wrap", so 205-x="packages of greeting cards"

4(x)+10(205-x)=1084 ___ 4x+2050-10x=1084 ___ -6x=-966

Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4X+10(205-X)=1084
THIS IS $4 TIMES (X) THE GIFT PACKAGES + $10 FOR THE GREETING CARDS (205-X)
4X+2050-10X=1084
-6X=1084-2050
-6X=-966
X=-966/-6
X=161 ANSWER FOR THE NUMBER OF GIFT WRAP SOLD.
205-161=44 GREETING CARDS SOLD.
PROOF
4*161+10*44=1084
644+440=1084
1084=1084
