Answer:

Let the number of courses that are worth 3 credits each be x and those worth 4 credits be y. With the given information, you can write the following equations:  

x + y = 48

3x + 4y = 155

 

You can solve the above equations by method of elimination/substitution

x + y = 48 ⇒ x = 48 - y (Now, substitution this equation into 3x + 4y = 155)

3(48 - y) + 4y = 155

144 -3y + 4y = 155

y + 144 = 155

y = 11

 

Now plug this solution back into x = 48 - y  

x = 48 - 11 = 37  

 

Check work (by plugging the solutions back into the 3x + 4y and see if it's equal to 155):

3(37) + 4(11) = 155

Answer: There are 37 of the 3-credit course and 11 of the 4-credit course

What is x+y=8 and 5x+3y=34 graphed on the same graph
expeople1 [14]
To help you graph this, get y alone in both equations. If you don't have a graphing calculator, use the Desmos graphing calculator online.

So, you will end up graphing this:
y=8-x
y=(34/3)-(5/3)x

They will meet at (5,3)
