Question 466657: Here is my problem: Imagine you are in the market for a new home and are interested in a new housing community under construction in a different city.
The sales representative informs you that there are 56 houses for sale with two floor plans still available. Use x to represent floor plan one and y to represent floor plan two. Write an equation that illustrates the situation. This is what I come up with:
x=56/2 y=56/2
But it doesn't look right to me. Thank you in advance for your help.
