X = bessie and y = betty

x + y = 1464
y = 2x - 375

x + 2x - 375 = 1464
3x - 375 = 1464
3x = 1464 + 375
3x = 1839
x = 1839/3
x = 613 <== Bessie gave 613 gallons

y = 2x - 375
y = 2(613) - 375
y = 1226 - 375
y = 851 <== Betty gave 851 gallons

Answer: Betty the cow gave 851 gallons and  Bessie the cow gave 613 gallons of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of milk given by Bessie the cow.

Given : Karins mom runs a dairy farm. Last year Betty the cow gave 375 gallons less than twice the amount from Bessie the cow.

Then,  the amount of milk given by Betty the cow will be 2x-375.

Together, Betty and Bessie produced 1464 gallons of milk.

Then, according to the question, we have

x+2x-375=1464\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x-375=1464\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=1464+375\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=1839\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfraxc{1839}{3}=613

Also,  2(613)-375=851

Hence, Betty the cow gave 851 gallons and  Bessie the cow gave 613 gallons of milk.

John has two colored varieties of water bottles: white water bottles and black water bottles. The total number of water bottles
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

15 black water bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

let w represent white water bottles, and let b represent black water bottles.

set up a system of equations:

w+b=20

w+2b=35

(the top equation shows that the number of white water bottles he sold and the number of black water bottles he sold equals to 20, since it says that the total number of water bottles is 20. the bottom equation shows that white water bottles cost $1, and black water bottles cost $2, and that the total amount of money he got from selling them is $35).

in the top equation, isolate w:

w+b=20

w=20-b

now we do substitution. in the bottom equation, substitute 20-b for w:

w+2b=35

20-b+2b=35

then, solve:

b+20=35

b=15

this means that he sold 15 black water bottles.
