Sierra is selling bracelets to raise money for the Language Club at school. Each bracelet with yellow beads sells for $5. Each bracelet with orange beads sells for $6. She raised $660 for the club. The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads. Let y represent the number of bracelets with yellow beads and r represent the number of bracelets with orange beads.Which system of equations will solve for the number of each type of bracelet sold?

Respuesta :

we know that
y --------> number of bracelets with yellow beads---> sells for $5
r---------> number of bracelets with orange beads--> 
sells for $6
5y+6r=660------------- y=(660-6r)/5------------> equation (I)

y=8+2r ----------------------- > equation (II) 

the answer is 
y=(660-6r)/5
y=8+2r

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of equations to assemble a system, in this way we have:

[tex]y=8+2X[/tex]

Organizing the information given in the statement, we have that:

  • number of bracelets with yellow beads sells for $5 will call as Y
  • number of bracelets with orange beads sells for $6 will call as X

With this information we can call set up the equation as:

[tex]5y+6X=660\\y=(660-6X)/5\\y=8+2X\\y=(660-6X)/5\\y=8+2X[/tex]
