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

How do I solve this problem
Harman [31]
X = # of posters, y = total cost
y = 2x + 250
y = 1000

1000 = 2x + 250
1000 - 250 = 2x
750 = 2x
750/2 = x
375 = x....so 375 posters can be printed
==========================
y = total cost, x = # of miles

y = 3x + 3
y = 117

117 = 3x + 3
117 - 3 = 3x
114 = 3x
114/3 = x
38 = x.....so the car was towed 38 miles
