Question

A bassist and a pianist each wrote songs for their band. The pianist wrote 6 fewer than three times the number of songs that the bassist wrote, They wrote a total of 64 songs. Write a system of equations to model this situation if the bassist wrote **B** songs and the pianist wrote **P** songs.
What would be two equations I could write for this problem?
Equation #1

Equation #2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P+B=64

Let's say P=3*B - 6

This means that 3*B - 6 + B =64

Solve for B, which is 17.5

Solve for P using P=3*B-6, which is 46.5

This should be the answer
