Question 890385: Brianna and Carlos sell computers. Last month Brianna sold 24 more computers than Carlos. Together they sold 122. How many computers did Carlos sell?
Do not enter units. Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! B + C = 122
B = C + 24
Substitute the known value of B from the second equation into the first.
C + 24 + C = 122
2C + 24 = 122
Subtract 24 from each side
2C = 98
Divide each side by 2
C = 49
Carlos sold 49 computers and Briana sold 73 computers.
