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.
