Ask a math question!

ok it is a simultaneous equations question

Let the number of get well boxes be W

Let the number of thank you boxes be T

W+T=17   ==> W=17-T (1)

7T+9W=135  (2)

Now can you solve it yourself?

Sub the (1) into (2)    etc

Shawn bought boxes of thank you cards and get well cards. The thank you cards came in boxes of 7 and the get well cards came in boxes of 9. Shawn bought 17 boxes and got a total of 135 cards. How many boxes of each type of card did he buy?

when it said it came in boxes of 7 it means theres 7 cards in the box right?

I answered this same question 9 hours earlier !!   ???????

Thanks for letting me know Chris.

I/we will have to teach zegroes to give links instead of copying the whole answer.
