Answer:
two equations, 1)S+L=279, 2)1S+4L=567
96 Larges, 183 Smalls
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Solve for L:</em></u>
multiply the first one by -1,
-S-L=-279
Subtract:
-S-L=-279
<u>-</u><u> S+4L=567</u>
3L=288
Divide 288 by 3:
288/3=96
96=L, 96 larges
<u><em>Solve for S:</em></u>
We only need to use one equation since we already have L:
S+(96)=279
Take down parenthesis since no distribution
Subtract 96 from both sides:
S=183
<u><em>Check:</em></u>
183+96=279
183(1)+96(4)=567
183+384=567
567=567
I hope this helps u pls give brainliest and a thx ;)
