x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer
x = 2
y = 1

Answer b.
Foundation will receive 60% of the total of the fundraising activities.
Equation to determine the money that will be received by foundation:
Answer c.
Given that x = $72, M = ?
Putting the value of x in the equation above:
Answer d.
Given that M = $850, x = ?
Putting the value of M in the equation above to find x:
So, the answers are:
a. Let the variable be for the fundraising activities and as the revenue for foundation.
b.
c. $43.2
d. $1416.67
Rewrite 5% as a decimal and then multiply by 60.
X = 0.05 x 60
