Question 286043: The sales representative informs you that there are two floor plans still available, and that there are a total of 63 houses available. The sales representative later indicates that there are six times as many homes available with the second floor plan than the first. Write a system of equations that illustrates this situation. Use x to represent floor plan #1 and y to represent floor plan #2.
(I keep finding myself struggling with these I really have no idea where to start. Thanks in advance for helping me, I really appreciate it, more than you'll ever know!!)

Quantity Equation: x + y = 63
Quantity Equation: y = 6x
