Answer: State B = 583 mp ; State A = 1,362 mp
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
State A = produced 779 million pounds more apples than State B.
Together the two states produced 1945 million pounds.
Using "x" as the pounds of apples produced by State B.
- State A = 779 + X
- State B = X
State A + State B = 1945
Replacing with the values of both States
779+X+X =1945
779 +2X =1945
2X = 1945-779
X = 1,166 /2 =583
We have found the amount in State B.
State B = 583
Replacing on A..
State A = 779 + X = 779 + 583 = 1,362
Answer:
State A = 1362 pounds of apples.
State B = 583 pounds of apples.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = pounds of apples in State A
While Y = pounds of apples in State B.
From the question,
In 2017,
Since state A produced 779 pound more apples than state B, therefore:
i. X - Y = 779
ii. X + Y = 1945
Solving both equations, we have:
2X = 2724
= 1362 pounds of apples.
Inputting the value of X into the ii. equation:
1362 - Y = 779
Y = 583 pounds of apples.
