<h3>Given</h3>
regular paper costs $3.79 per ream
recycled paper costs $5.49 per ream
$582.44 was spent for 116 reams
<h3>Find</h3>
the numbers of reams of each type that were purchased
<h3>Solution</h3>
Let r and g represent the numbers of reams of regular and recycled ("green") paper, respectively.
... r + g = 116 . . . . . . . . 116 reams were purchased
... 3.79r + 5.49g = 582.44 . . . . this is the total cost of the purchase
Solve the first equation for r and substitute that into the second equation.
... r = 116 - g
... 3.79(116 - g) + 5.49g = 582.44 . . . . . use the expression for r
... 1.70g + 439.64 = 582.44 . . . . . . . . . simplify
... g = (582.44 -439.64)/1.70 = 84 . . . . subtract the constant, divide by 1.70
... r = 116 -84 = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . use the equation for r
32 regular reams and 84 recycled reams were purchased

Answer:
x=0.8, y=2.2 (0.8, 2.2).
Step-by-step explanation:
y+x=3
y=1.5x+1
-------------
1.5x+1+x=3
2.5x=3-1
2.5x=2
x=2/2.5
x=0.8
y+0.8=3
y=3-0.8
y=2.2
Patrick worked 160.5 hours because you have to subtract 1000 from 7420 then divide that by 40 for your answer. Also, Patrick has a sweet job.
