Scarborough High School ordered several replacement books for the mathematics department. When the box of books arrived at the h

igh school, it contained Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II textbooks. A label on the box reads: “Contents: 23 books, Weight: 93 lbs.” An Algebra I book weighs 4 pounds, a Geometry book weighs 3 pounds, and an Algebra II book weighs 5 pounds. The number of Geometry books and Algebra II books combined is one less than the number of Algebra I books.
Formulate a system of equations to represent the problem situation.
Solve the system of equations to determine the number of Algebra I textbooks, the number of Geometry textbooks, and the number of Algebra II textbooks that are in the box.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of books as:

Algebra 1 = A1

Algebra 2 = A2

Geometry = G

A1 + A2 + G = 23........Equation 1

An Algebra I book weighs 4 pounds, a Geometry book weighs 3 pounds, and an Algebra II book weighs 5 pounds.

4A1 + 5A2 + 3G = 93

4a+6b=10<br> 2a-4b=12<br><br> what does 12a =?
Usimov [2.4K]
If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).

In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)

2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)

a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)

4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1

a = 6 + -2 = 4.

So a=4 and b=-1.
