Answer:
[tex]n+b=18[/tex] and [tex]6b+5n=101[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Two 2 system of equations are the ones about:
Total number of items sold:
Lily sold 18 items.
Since [tex]b[/tex] is the number of bracelets and [tex]n[/tex] is the number of necklaces, we can write:
[tex]b+n=18[/tex]
Total price of items sold:
Bracelets are $6 each and Lily sold [tex]b[/tex] of them. So total is [tex]6b[/tex] for bracelets.
Necklaces are $5 each and Lily sold [tex]n[/tex] of them. So total is [tex]5n[/tex] for necklaces.
In total she sold all of them for $101, so we can write: [tex]6b+5n=101[/tex]
The system of equations, thus, are:
[tex]n+b=18[/tex] , and
[tex]6b+5n=101[/tex]
