Lincoln can wrap a single gift in 6.5 minutes and he can do a gift bag in 2 minutes Lincoln prepared a total 13 gifts in 57.5 minutes. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of gifts Lincoln wrapped and the number of gift bags he prepared define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

Answer:

• w + b = 13
• 6.5w + 2b = 57.5

Let w represent the number of gifts wrapped. Let b represent the number of bags prepared.

  w + b = 13 . . . . gift bags and gifts wrapped

  6.5w +2b = 57.5 . . . . total time spent preparing gifts
