Question 43933: ms. gardner went to the market. she purchased some lettuce heads and some tomatoes there were 12 itens purchased she bought twice as many tomatoes as lettuce heads. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let T be tomatoes and let H be lettuce heads.
Then T + H = 12 and T = 2H...now substitute...
2H + H = 12
3H = 12
H = 4
T = 8
