Oliver and his friends like to collect and trade cards from a certain combat card game. Oliver used his allowance to purchase 5 booster packs and 4 premade decks, which included a total of 178 cards. For his birthday, he received 4 booster packs and 7 premade decks, which included a total of 264 cards. How many cards come in every booster pack and every premade deck?

Respuesta :

Solving system of equations in two variable gives that the number of cards in every booster pack are 10  and number of cards in every premade deck are 32

What is system of equations in two variables and how to find its solution by substitution?

Let x and y be two variables and

a₁x+b₁y =c₁              

a₂x+b₂y =c₂        

Where a₁, a₂, b₁, b₂, c₁, c₂ are  constants   then  we can solve these simultaneous equations by substitution take value of x from equation (1) and then put it in (2) to get an equation for y only and then solve for y. put value of y in equation (1) to get value of x.

Let the number of cards in every booster pack are  x and the number of cards in every premade deck  be y

Number of cards in 5 booster packs will be 5x  and Number of cards in 4  premade deck will be 4y

As Oliver purchases 5 booster packs and 4 premade decks, which included a total of 178 cards.

Thus we get       5x + 4y = 178    .....(1)

Number of cards in 4 booster packs will be 4x  and Number of cards in 7  premade deck will be 7y

As Oliver received 4 booster packs and 7 premade decks, which included a total of 178 cards.

Thus we get     4x +7y = 264       ...(2)

System of equations to be solved is

5x + 4y = 178    .....(1)

4x +7y = 264       ...(2)

From (1) , we get x = [tex]\frac{178-4y}{5}[/tex]

Put this value in (2)

[tex]4(\frac{178-4y}{5}) +7y= 264\\\frac{712}{5} -\frac{16y}{5} +7y = 264\\\frac{712}{5}-264=\frac{16y}{5} -7y\\ y= 32\\x= \frac{178-4(32)}{5 }\\ x=50/5\\x=10[/tex]

Therefore x=10 and y= 32

The number of cards in every booster pack are 10   and number of cards in every premade deck are 32
