Question 627570: Formulate a system of equations for the situation below and solve.
Cantwell Associates, a real estate developer, is planning to build a new apartment complex consisting of one-bedroom units and two- and three-bedroom townhouses. A total of 168 units is planned, and the number of family units (two- and three-bedroom townhouses) will equal the number of one-bedroom units. If the number of one-bedroom units will be 3 times the number of three-bedroom units, find how many units of each type will be in the complex.
one-bedroom units ____? units
two-bedroom townhouses _____? units
three-bedroom townhouses _______? units
Hi,
A total of 168 units is planned, and the number of family units (2 and 3-bedroom townhouses) will equal the number of one-bedroom units.
If the number of one-bedroom units will be 3 times the number of three-bedroom units
one-bedroom units: units or 84 Units
two-bedroom townhouses units or 56 Units
three-bedroom townhouses units or 28 Units
6x = 168, x = 28
