Answer:

Sum of the two numbers is 21 and Second number is six times the first number

x+6x = 21

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3

substitute x value in 6x to find second number,

= 6x

= 6*3

= 18

Therefore first number is 3 and second number is 18

Answer:

34x + 45y = 192.25

47x + 16y = 208

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x stand for peaches.

Let y stand for grapes.

Since we know that yesterday he sold 35 pounds of peaches ( x ) and 45 pounds of grapes ( y ) for $192.25, we can create an equation to represent this using two variables; peaches and grapes.

We can do the same thing with the amount of peaches and grapes he sold today. Once we make this equation, we will have two equations to make the system of equations to solve for x and y.
