The answer: x=857 and y=-401

Set up the two equations

X+2y=55
2x+y=1313

Solve the system of equations by elimination

2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110

Add each of the corresponding terms together

-3y=1203

Divide by -3

Y=-401

Plug y back into one of the original equations

X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857

algol13

Answer:

96 one bedroom homes

64 two bedroom homes

32 three bedroom homes

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 1 bedroom homes, y is the number of 2 bedroom homes, and z is the number of 3 bedroom homes:

x + y + z = 192

x = y + z

x = 3z

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

x + x = 192

2x = 192

x = 96

z = x / 3

z = 32

y = x − z

y = 64
