Answer:
Available information is not sufficient to solve the questions
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Cm = Computers Ordered by Company M
Let Cn = Computers Ordered by Company N
Let Pm = Printers Ordered by Company M
Let Pn = Printers Ordered by Company N
Cm + Pm = 50 --- Equation 1
Cn + Pn = 60 ----- Equation 2
1. Company M and N ordered the same number of computers
Here,
Cm = Cn
Substitute Cm for Cn in equation 2
Cm + Pm = 50
Cm + Pn = 60
Subtract Equation 2 from 1
Pm - Pn = 50 - 60
Pm - Pn = -10
Pm = Pn - 10
Substitute Pn-10 for Pm in equation 1
Cm + Pn - 10 = 50
Make Pn the subject of formula
Cm = 50+10-Pn
Cm = 60 - Pn
Hence, the number of computers ordered by Company M is 60 minus the number of printers ordered by Company n
2. Company N ordered 10 more printers than Company M.
Here,
Pn = 10 + Pm
Make Pm the subject of formula
Pm = Pn - 10
Substitute Pn-10 for Pm in equation 1
Cm + Pn - 10 = 50
Make Cm the Subject of formula
Cm = 50 + 10 - Pn
Cm = 60 - Pn
Hence, the number of computers ordered by Company M is 60 minus the number of printers ordered by Company n
Condition 1 and 2 points to the same result
