Hello,
Let x represent the total of jumps
y represent the total “ raised the roof "
Here are two equation:
3x+2y=50
x+y=19
To solve this, I would prefer to use substitution because it is the easiest way to do:
x+y=19
Times 3 from both side
3x+3y=57
-
3x+2y=50
=
y=7
x=19-7=12. As a result, Roxanne jumps 12 , and “ raised the roof ” 7 times. Hope it help!
