During one calendar year, a state trooper issued a total of 375 citations for warnings and speeding tickets. Of these, there were 37 more warnings than speeding tickets. How many warnings and how many speeding tickets were issued? Let w= warnings and s= speeding tickets
**
w+s=375
w=s+37
s+37+s=375
2s=375-37=338
s=338/2=169
w=s+37=206
