Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

l: the number of large cars.

s: the number of small cars.

Then, you can set up the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{l+s=142} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.

You can use the Elimination Method:

- Multiply the first equation by -4.0

- Add both equations.

- Solve for l.

\left \{ {{-4.0l-4.0s=-568} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.\\--------\\1.5l=84.5

l≈56

Substitute l=56 into one of the original equations and solve for <em>s:</em>

<em> </em>56+s=142\\s=142-56\\s=86

Charra [1.4K]

2x + y = 7

substitute

2x + (x+1) =7

combine like terms

3x+1 =7

subtract 1 from each side

3x =6

divide by 3

x=2

y = x+1

y =2+1

y=3

Answer: x=2, y=3
