Answer:
110,000 (suv) to be shipped to New York City
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there are 180,000 (suv) to be shipped in total. We also know that there are two cities which these (suv) must be shipped to. So, that is 180,000 (suv) to be shipped to two cities. Let's right a true equation with this information:
Let <em>n</em> represent the number of (suv) to be shipped to New York City and <em>b</em> represent the number of (suv) to be shipped to Boston.
<em>n</em> + <em>b</em> = 180,000
Now, we also know that the number of (suv) to be shipped to New York City is 40,000 greater than the number of (suv) to be shipped to Boston. So, we can write another true equation (for the sake of convenience, let's write it in terms of <em>b</em> rather than in terms of <em>n</em>):
<em>b</em> = <em>n</em> - 40,000
Now that we have a value for <em>b</em> in terms of <em>n</em>, we can plug this value into <em>b</em> in our first equation:
<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 40,000) = 180,000
From here, we can solve:
<em>n</em> + <em>n</em> - 40,000 = 180,000
2<em>n</em> - 40,000 = 180,000
2<em>n</em> = 220,000
<em>n</em> = 110,000
Thus, we have our final answer.
