Question 354018: a farmer raises corn and soybeans on 450 acres of land. He plants 58 more acres of corn and soybeans. How many acres of corn does he plant?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let number of acres of soyabean be x
corn will be x+58
...
x+x+58=450
-58
x+x+58-58=450-58
2x=392
/2
x= 392/2
x= 196 acres of soya bean
..
so number of acres of corn will be 450-196
=354

-----------------------------
c + s = 450 acres
c = s + 58
----
Substitute for "c" and solve for "s".
---
s+58 + s = 450
2s = 392
s = 196 acres (amt. of soybean acreage
---
c = s+58 = 196+58 = 254
