rose bought 300 packs of peanuts.she bought boxes of 12 packs and boxes of 6 packs to get the 300 packs.how many boxes of 12 packs did she buy if she bought 35 boxes in all?

Respuesta :

x + y = 35
x = 35-y

12x +6y = 300

12(35-y) + 6y = 300

420 -12y + 6y = 300
420 -6y = 300
-6y = -120
y = -120 / -6
y = 20

x = 35-20 = 15

 she bough 15 of the 12 packs
