x = 4, y = 1

Step 1: use the equations given to find an equation with only 1 term. Here I used x.

(x + 2y) + (x - 2y) = 2x = 6 + 2 = 8

2x = 8

x = 4

Step 2: substitute x = 4 into either given equation. Here I used the first equation x + 2y = 6.

(4 + 2y) = 6

2y = 6 - 4 = 2

y = 1

This solution can also be done by finding y in step 1 or using the other given equation in step 2.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Let's define the variables:

h = number of hats

m = number of mugs.

We know that a total of 1000 items were ordered, then:

h + m = 1000

We also know that we have 3 times more mugs than hats, this can be written as:

m = 3*h

Now we have the system of equations:

h + m = 1000

m = 3*h

To solve these, we usually start by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then replace that in the other equation, but in this case, we already have m isolated in the second equation, then we can replace that in the first equation to get:

h + m = 1000

h + (3*h) = 1000

Now we can solve this equation for h, and find the number of hats ordered.

4*h = 1000

h = 1000/4 = 250

There were 250 hats ordered.
