Question

Plz..Help Me Solve This ...

Answer 1

R = recycling and reuse industry jobs
w = waste management jobs

we know, those two jobs combined are 1,275,000
or
r + w = 1,275,000

we also know that, whatever the "w" jobs are, are really less than "r"
jobs by 1,025,000

"r" has 1,025,000 more than  "w"
or
r = w + 1,025,000
or
r-w = 1,025,000

so... there, just solve by elimination, simple, notice the "w",
is just waiting to be eliminated :)

$\bf \begin{cases} r+\quad w=1,275,000\\ r-\quad w=1,025,000\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ \boxed{?}+\boxed{?}=\boxed{?} \end{cases}$
