Answer:
Yesenia has qty 1 of 10s and qty 7 of 1s
Misty has qty 6 of 10s and qty 8 of 1s
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Note that there are two different types of blocks: 1s and 10s. Let x represent the number of 10s and y represent the number of 1s.
<u>Value of the blocks </u> <u>Number of blocks</u>
Yesenia: 1x + 7y 8
Misty: <u> </u> <u> </u>
Total: 8x + 5y 22
Start with the number of blocks that Misty has: 22 - 8 = 14
Next, how many 1s can be added to Yesenia's to make 5? 15 - 7 = 8
How many blocks are left over from Misty's 14? 14 - 8 = 6
