<PRE><B>Question 193840</B>
ok let F be the # of cases of fax paper and let C be the number of cases copier paper
:
F+C=250...........eq 1
17F+11C=3650......eq 2
:
rewrite eq 1 to f=250-C and plug this value into eq 2
:
17(250-C)+11C=3650
:
4250-17C+11C=3650
:
-6C=-600
:
C=100 cases of copier paper
:
F=250-C=250-100=150 cases of Fax paper
